Does the Darrin use the same front shocks as the Henry j?

Yes, both front and rear are the same as HJ. I used Monroe 31176 shocks for the front...twelve bucks apiece at Rock Auto.

I find that using Monroe Magnum #34904 shocks on the rear gave my Darrin a much better ride.
They need to be painted.
