Shocks ????
Shocks ???? I'm about to order some shocks and want to know what everone is running? The car is street driven whit alot of track duty,it runs a 11.2@119 with a 1.61 60ft. I already got lower control arms and adj tunel mount torque arm.
I would get a set of Strange shocks if you are on a budget or the AFCOs
I've been looking at the qa1's and strange's I think the AFCO's would be a little over kill for my car.Any pro's or con's for the qa1's or the strange's?Witch would be better?
Strange or Afco like the guys said above, but honestly, unless you are looking to make a big change in how teh car comes out, stock shocks work fine. maybe some cheap comp engineering out back (assuming you are looking for 1.5 60' type stuff).

so if your wanting to cut lower than a 1.5 go with strange afco or qa1's?

personally i dont think on an automatic car you "need" to spend the money unless you are fighting bad oem shocks.
I'm still on stock front struts and I have Comp. Engineering rears. My car cuts 1.3X's 60'
There are plenty of guys running the cheap Comp. Eng. rears, guys going faster than I am and they love them.

running konis and love them for an all-around shock. i know some disagree with konis for drag but thought id chime in with my opinion. car sees the street as a wkend warrior or when the weather is nice. not a daily driver
I'm running the cheap Summit house brand shock that they sell for less than $30.00 EACH I've been high 1.4's with them. They are adjustable and work great, I know a few Stock Eliminator guys that run them and they've been in the low 1.30's with them.

If you want a set of budget shocks, I have a set of SA QA1's. R Series fronts with either 275 or 325 springs, torington bearings on the fronts, just rebuilt by Naake. Rears have been rebuilt as well. 450.00 for front and rear shipped.
