They're a really nice shock. I'd talk to Mike about what you're plans are with the car. I'd like to purchase his JRI coilover set up for the front of my car to go with his rear leaf set up.

If you're planning on running the car on the street 90% of the time like most people then I'd go with the sport package.

Also if you're planning on running the stock control arm set up I'd highly suggest buying and welding in the shock tower reinforcement plates.I can give you a link to some pre fab ones that don't break the bank.

I got the rear shocks on mine and they have a very nice ride to them. I will eventually switch the front kyb's to the sports.

Then I would go with sport instead of race. I have the race shocks with 200lb leaf springs in the rear of my 66 and it's pretty stiff.

Then that 60 series tire is also helping absorb some of the road. Imagine a 30/35 series and the race shocks. Might knock a filling out hitting a pot hole LOL.
