are they the best because they have more settings,better wait transfer etc.. basicaly will they make my car faster and hook better for a better 60 ft, are will the strange do the same job? No one has said why they are better just that they cost more!

plenty people running 9s on qa1 and strange single adjustables. its like any other part. headers for example you can go with budget pacesetters or you can spend more for kooks or stainless works headers. the budget headers will do the job but the others might outperform them a little bit better. im sure the more extreme your car the more of a gain you will see by using afcos as opposed to the other two brands. and there are brands out there that are even more than afcos in case your curious just dont remember the name.

no problem that was just from a rational perspective. if you want to talk to the pros talk to madman racing or midwest chassis. they are sponsors here and very knowledgeable about race setups.

We're an AFCO dealer. These shocks are the best on the market, and are very consumer friendly. The shock adjustments are easily made, you can have them re-valved easily (if ever needed), and if you buy from us, we will give you all of your shock tunings and suspension tunes for free over the phone. Call me for pricing. We have a good amount in stock, and may be able to get your a small discount on a rear or full shock package.

i can get you set up with the AFCOs or Strange shocks either way. the Strange are definetly the best bang for the buck, but AFCO shocks are the top of the line for the f-body application(also the most cost). i have custom valving available at no extra charge, and plenty of hands on shock and suspension tuning experience at the dragstrip with customers and my own cars. i do more than just f-bodys... mustangs, early muscle cars and 200+mph top sportsman cars.
pm or call me at the shop for the best deal you will find on any shocks and suspension parts.

Couldn't find any really good info on frrax about them. I'm suprised. How much does a full set of double or single adjustable afco's cost for us for the handling type shocks, not drag shocks? I believe MitchNtx was running some sort of afco shock?
Anyone use AFCO shocks for F-body (Camaro) on street daily or road course purpose?
