Car will be mostly street but will see the track every now and then 2 times a month tops if that.

The Strange shocks are by far the best bang for the buck and the Afco shocks are a bit more, but for a street/strip car they may just be the bet shock on the market in their price range.

You can fine shocks for less that these, but you will most likely at some point end up saying " I wish I would have".

Give us a call... We stock both Afco and Strange here with various spring rates for your specific application, and guaranteed best prices.

I'd have a separate set of wheels and tires for track use. I wouldn't bother with anything else.

Just wondering, for track use, assuming dragstrip?

I have most of the new bushings and stuff with the umi stuff already going to get some new hardware and small things here and there

as for tire I will be keeping my z06 c6 rims for now with some new 315s not sure on the tire yet though and will be saving for some drag rims and slicks



I wouldnt have it any other way all though i have used brm stuff before just got it all new from umi at once

yes at the track but mostly got it for makes it easy to work on my car with the tubular k member and arms and it gives it a lot nicer look not to mention it helps with weight



looks like alot of people like the konis shocks with strano springs thanks

It's possible that if you mix and match, throw some poly bushings in there, you'll end up with a car that does nothing well. I guess what I'm trying to say is know the direction you're going with the car.
