Default Springs/shocks

Well since i got all the rear suspension off my car, I think its time to look into some springs and shocks for the front and rear. This car will be going straight most of the time with some summer cruising. I would say 75% 1/4 and 25% driving it around. I currently have MWC tq arm and will be ordering there phb and lcas as well and the front is all stock right now. So what will give me the best advantage? I was looking at AFCOs but not sure I wanna spend that much yet, so Im basically looking for a stepping stone i guess you can say. Im also sick of the car sitting so high.

Can't go wrong with a set of Strange shocks if the Afco's are a bit much cost for you. We have a lot of customers doing street/strip duty with the Strange shocks as well with great results.

Give us a call... we have both the Strange and Afco components all in stock.
