Setting aside the philosophical question of maintaining strict originality, setting your car up for a set of modern tubular shocks would be a good idea, because they work better and are much, much cheaper to replace when the time comes. But, if you don't care about cost, the original type shocks work just fine, but are costly. I have gone with the tubulars, as my interest is in driving my Tudor.
