For the money, Strange drag shocks/springs are a very good choice for drag configurations. I'd highly suggest a double adjustable configuration if your finances allow it.

Give us a call tomorrow if you have questions or concerns.

I agree with BMR, though we can offer you both QA1 or Strange, we prefer Strange products over QA1. If you prefer QA1, give us a call, we do not list them on our website.

Just bought a set of double adjustable Afco's front and rear. After much research it seems the Afco's are used on most of the quickest and fastest F bodies. Purchased mine from Madman and they were great in explaining the pros and cons between the Afco's and Strange shocks. Just my $0.02. Oh yeah and I went with a 14" 300lbs spring.

AFCO's are definitely the best shock on the market for f-body drag racing. We have been working with AFCO for 10+ years to get the correct valving and spring rate, and i'd say we have it down to a fine art. They are on the pricey side, but once you buy a set, you'll never have to buy another shock again. They have great customer service, and can revalve your shock at any time. Give me a call at the shop if you are interested in buying a set, or have any questions. I'll be happy to help. Our phone number is 225-673-3533.
Thanks

the front shocks for the f-body are made a bit differently than the basic AFCO double adjustable. The upper adjustment **** is made around the the piston, like this.

This is easily accessible on most cars. Sometimes you might have to jack the car up a little bit, so you can get your arm between the tire and the fender. The lower adjustment **** can be accessed by laying down and reaching behind the wheel.
