| Double adjustable = money well spent. Buy the best ones you can or want to afford. Footbrake won't be as sensitive but will still benefit greatly. DA are expensive but worth every penny.

| I agree get the double adjustable. I was told by someone who had done a lot of shock dyno testing that the AFCO shocks are the best for the money. This guy definitely knows what he is talking about. I ended up buying AFCO and have been pleased with them. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

Strange by a mile given those 2 choices based on my experience in the past. I have had both before and still use Strange. I can't say though if QA-1 has improved although I saw they have a new design canister shock but they are pretty pricey. |

| A double adjustable drag shock is always beneficial and the shock you want is Afco which are bolted to the rear of this footbrake car... https://youtu.be/rbKYio6OvKM |

| to the original poster, something to consider, if you have not done so, the installation of an anti-roll bar will show good results. Some years ago the thought was that with a ladder bar the rear axle housing served as the anti-roll. As an experiment, I install one anyway, figgered it would not hurt anything. Vola, it changed an already dead on package to a double 0 dead on package. Now I have installed a number of anti-roll bar kits on both ladder bar and four-link builds and it is, without question, a good thing to do. As a side note, I like the ART design that has needed bearings rather than bushings.

| and I agree with Tyler about Randy Manns. He is an experienced racer and does good work with shock rebuilds/upgrades. He has done a number of sets for me.

That's MADE IN USA. I called him we've been looking at a set of Koni's he had on FB. Super nice guy, informative, knowledgeable. Those Koni's would've been a Super good deal for the OP. |

| I think an ARB with leaf springs is a good idea because the ARB helps both rear tires carry the same weight.

| So this is a crude rudimentary example drawing. If you're talking high hp (1100 hp plus) this car goes left at the leave. If you're talking low hp it goes right. You can adjust this out of a low hp car no ARB, but you can't a high hp car no ARB, unless you install a low hp engine in the frame rails. |
