Default Another shock Q :)

Im gonna be getting into Auto-X next season (my girls t/a is the drag car). And I dont wanna be bumped up a class so I was looking into some kind of non adjustable shock. The stock V6 shocks/springs float... a lot. I know Sam would know the answer to this but can anyone recommend a good non adjustable shock?

Shocks are free (i.e.; unlimited) in even the SCCA's F/Stock class, so you can use whatever you want, as long as the mounting points, and the spring mount types/location remain the same (as well as stock springs).

Talk to Sam (Stranoparts ----> he's a site sponsor) when he gets back from the autocross Nats. I'm sure he will tell you that you CANNOT go wrong with Koni single adjustables for our cars. Price is the ONLY negative issue concerning these shocks (actually they are "dampers", but that's a whole other arguement/discussion). But they ARE worth it, and it IS a matter of "you get what you pay for" in this instance!!

Ok thanks. Koni was what I was told is good for auto X and QA1s are great drag shocks.

Adjustable shocks are legal in all classifications, even stock classes
