    For my 72 Comet, I'm looking for Koni shocks all around.

    Rockauto tells me that the front shocks exchange with the Mustang, so I'll use Part No. 82-1388SP3.

    But which can I use in the rear? Rockauto shows some other cars which use the same shocks, none of which are listed at Koni.

    Does anyone know which Part No. will fit?

    Thanks :)

    thanks for the tip with the mounting bolt - just took my old shocks out of the garbage bin. but i'm not looking for kyb - even though they also start with a "k" ;)

    anyone else with a part no for the konis?

    LUKE. good thing you didnt buy them. i have bolt on over springs on mine that do similar things. i am taking them off before they crack and break the upper rear shock mount because they load it up more than air shocks do.
