Default which coil over shocks?

I am replacing the air shocks in the rear of my 69 Camaro. They leak. Should I replace all 4? Can I just do the rears? Which brands are best? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the shocks are leaking and not just the plastic lines. Plastic lines are very inexpensive compared to new shocks. ... Yes, you can just replace the rears. ... Gabriel Hijackers will work.

Air Shocks were really designed to prop up a sagging rear when the car is overloaded... I think driving with the shocks inflated gives you sub-par handling and ride. Think about it... your'e propping the car up on the piston integrity and the 3/8" steel shaft. Does that sound remotely good? Get a decent pair of shocks and enjoy the ride and handling improvement.
