AFCO shocks are drag shocks that work very well on the street. I know of many different cars that see street/strip use, that use AFCO's products. We have a sell on shock and spring combos. Here is the thread with all the info on the sale.

We have quite a few customers that have had good luck with Strange as well as QA1'S. Both companies have spring rates for what ever kind of driving that you do. As of right now the Stranges are a better value. Here is a link to the shocks. If you have any questions please give me a call.

They are a coilover setup. You can make them what ever ride height you want.... well almost any ride height. What kind of use does your car get, DD, weekend driver, or only drag racing?
