Rear shock selection help

I'm in need of a qa1 rebuild on my rear shocks for the second time and I'm curious what others are running for a street/ strip car. They only seem to last no more than 2 years before they start to leak and I have maybe 3k miles on em which I find very annoying. I am looking for something with accessible adjustability similar to the qa1. Thanks for the help in advance

Strange offers a set very similar to the QA1s.

The most popular shocks are the Afco, Strange, and now Viking has the best bang for the buck. These are all high quality, but the Viking shocks carry an industry best 2 year warranty.

Give us a call and we can go over the options for you and set you up with the best deal and guaranteed lowest prices.

Afco is another option as long as it is within your budget.

If there is anything we can help you out with or if you have any tech questions just let us know.
