Front Shocks - '62 with KYBs

[ImperialMCMLXII@xxxxxxx]

Hi gang,

I must echo Chris' opinion on the KYB shocks. I installed a full set of them on our '62 Crown in August of last year, and I couldn't be more pleased with the ride and handling. 

Now our '62 with it's "tire test vehicle" status (being it has 4 different brand tires on it) does sing like a choir when you hit a curve signed for 45 @ 80 indicated, but the KYBs have noticeable less body roll or "lean" in the turn.

BTW - the '62 Imperial - at least with my funky tire "condition" - does have a very predictable 4-wheel drift with no surprises (unless you mistakenly hit the brakes when you hear the choir) =8^)

Be safe out there (as I look into the mirror!)

Imperial regards to everyone,
