Mark, I have another post about this subject. IMO, KYB are one of the best shocks on the market and is the ONLY shock I run on any car.

KYB is the Aftermarket supplier that is supplying the Big 3, I buy these by the thousands for Ford and GM daily. These are NOT import only shocks. I run them on my Dodges, Pontiac's, and yes, My 55 and 56 Packard.

They are a wonderful shock with great handling and performance, you would not go wrong, At least I never have. In addition, if you purchase shocks from one of the "usual" Packard vendors, you WILL receive KYB shocks, but of course and a two to three times the cost, same with Napa, they are way more expensive.

Believe it or not Amazon has some amazing prices for KYB along with simple KYB searches. You can put four on a car for under $100 by shopping around vs. paying a distributor.

If you get a shock number for your specific application, go to KYB on line catalog and cross it to a KYB and go shopping.
