What do you have for shocks now? And how much are you looking to spend?

QA1 single adjustable. not too worried about cost. more concerned with quality of the product.

I prefer Strange (I am a dealer), although Penskes are good but pricey.

If money is not an issue, then look at Penski, JRI, or Ohlin. Afco and Strange does have some nice stuff, and will work with most, but nothing beats a high quality shock. I learned this the hard way.

My 2003 Racetech came with double adjustable Afco's.

I recently replaced them and bought......... Afco's.

Could not justify spending twice the price for the high end shocks when the Afco's have always worked with no issues for all this time.

Newer version has much finer adjustment possibilities. More than 3 times the range of "clicks"

I know where I ran the old ones and am experimenting with the new ones just to see if it makes much difference...doubt it...

I even sold the old ones since they are still good....

Just needed some new shiny stuff.....lol

Very hard to beat Afco for the money. If you have the extra cash you are just wanting to spend then the next step up would be Penske and the next step up after that would be Ohlin

Just a fyi. Unlike many other rear DA coil overs, AFCO needs 2.625” ID springs. Not the popular 2.5”.

Give me a call I carry all JRI Products and have shocks and springs in stock. I can help with advising on which adjuster to go with. If you are looking for quality you can't beat a JRI or Penske. Check out my website competitivesuspension.com
