Check out Pete and Jakes "plain hydraulics"; they may be similar to the A vendors offerings and have similar rebound rates. The 60's VW Empi shocks with eyelets fit the Snyders kit (with mod's to the eyelets) . Some posters say the Empis have a softer ride more closely matched to the Model A spring rates and weight.. A number of shocks can be compared by compressing them by hand. Ask the A vendors who supplies their shocks, (such as Monroe, ac Delco and many more.) Some companies only produce gas assisted shocks which may be too stiff for the A..
