Thanks George:

Your advice on the ’60 – ’62 Corvette led me to some interesting options. Some rear shock options on that car are:
Monroe-matic 32126
Monroe Sensa Trac 5818
KYB Gas-a-just KG5562

I then cross-referenced the KYB KG5562 and discovered that it fits the 1982 Trans AM and the 1991 Camaro Z28, both performance cars. Performance cars have listed performance shocks including the following:

KYB AGX 743019

The AGX line is a high-performance, fully adjustable shock. I spoke to KYB and they explained that it fits. Lower loop diameter 5/8 in., loop width 1 5/16, minimum length 12.0 in, and maximum length 19.75 in. That’s virtually identical in dimensions to the factory original Armstrongs.

Here’s the kicker, the KYB AGX 743019 is available on Amazon.com for $46 each and super saver free shipping (other sources charge $90 each and shipping). So, here’s an incredible deal for fully adjustable, high-performance shocks that fit the Tiger. Mine are on order. I’ll report later how they fit/work.
