Lookin` to go cheap on shocks........

Does anyone make some cheap non-adjustable 90/10`s LS1 F-bodies (Lakewood, Comp. Eng.)? I know a few companies make non-adjustable 50/50`s but I`ve never seen any fronts. Just for the record, baby is on the way and house is being built so mods for the next year have to come in under the radar if you catch my drift! Otherwise it would be CroMo Adj. T/A, Wolfe Drag bar and Hals all the way around!!

I'm in the same boat and have decided going cheap on these is just a bad idea. You could make some mustang 90/10's work by cutting and welding for failry cheap though.

Please, do yourself a favor and DO NOT cheap out on the basis of your suspension. You'll regret it further down the road and have to by Stranges, QA1s, or Afcos anyway. Trust me. Buy right and buy once.

Thanks for the replies. I think I might go with C/E 50/50`s w/stock springs in the rear and the Stranges up front. I`ll have to see if they will work with the stock front springs.
