Default DD Strange or AFCO Shocks

Does Anyone DD a Strange or AFCO coilover? I think i am going to have a Double Adjustable to help me adjust for street use and then be able to adjust it for track use.

We have several employees and customers that use the strange shocks on their cars and they do drive them some on a daily basis others two or more times a week. Both afco and strange are capable of handling the daily grind of everyday use.

You can use them but they are more of a drag shock. Car will not handle well but they launch well. If you want good 60ft times and not great handling for it.

We offer the D/A AFCO shocks. We have a good amount of customers that use these shocks on the street, and so far, we haven't heard any complaints. If you order these shocks from us, we'll give you a base setting on your shocks for street and track use, and if you run into any problems, we'll be able to give you tech advise and shock changes over the phone when you're at the track. If you're interested, please call me at our shop during normal business hour. 8am-5pm Mon-Fri. Phone number is 225-673-3533. Thanks

My LT1 car has AFCO coil overs, Madman torque arm, Wolfe Rear Swaybar & PA Racing k-member.

I drove it quite a bit on the street with double adjustable AFCO's. Had a 60mi round trip to/from work. They have a wide range of adjustability & can be set pretty firm to somewhat offset a soft drag front spring.

I left the rears at the same race settings, but just tightened the front extension a few numbers on the street to keep the front end down & help the cornering. I would almost forget about the race suspension until making a sharp turn into a steep driveway would lift the inside rear wheel off the ground from the stiff Wolfe Swaybar.

Call Madman, he can get you a good setup.
