Hello  Group -



I am restoring my late father's 1957 Chrysler 300C, and  am currently 
working
on the suspension.  Although the shocks on the  car seem to work OK, I know
they are not original (fronts are blue Monroes,  rear are no-name black
ones), so while the front end is apart and shocks  are easily accessible,  I
would like to replace them with modern  gas-charged shocks that are
appropriately valved for the stiffer suspension  on the 300C, rather than 
for
the supposedly softer spring rates on the New  Yorker, for example.  Andy
Bernbaum has gas-charged shocks, but admits  that they are not really
anything different for the 300C; they are merely  applicable all across the
line.



I recall (but can't find)  previous correspondence on this subject, talking
about gas-charged KYB  shocks.  Can anyone please refer me to a current
source (and  applicable FT/RR part numbers, if available) for the Heavy-Duty
shocks (any  brand) for my car?



Thanks,
