We are needing the double ajustable front shocks for the superstocker.
When it comes down ,the front wheels shimmy and car bounces 2-3 extra times with the front tires going way up to the top of the fender wells..... I was told we needed to stiffin the down stroke of the shock for a smoother landing... Also having a time on the bump steer.. It is a 88 camaro ss/gt car and has koni shocks now. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance...

As for the shimmy. I ran into that last weekend at bowling green. I changed front tires and it helped, but I need to get the steering stabilizer for it. Ed Quay sells the kit for $69

Totally different front suspension between 3rd and 4th gen f-bodies. Afco does not make a strut for a 3rd gen. Cute pic, but totally irrelevant

He stated he needed a DA shock not a strut.
The car in the "cute pic" doesn't have a strut and neither does many if not most of those 3rd gen Camaros running in SuperStock yesterday at ETown Last edited by 1320racer; 06-05-2011 at 01:26 PM. |

You have no idea what you are talking about. No, a 4th gen does not have a strut, it has upper and lower control arms. A 3rd gen has a lower control arm and a strut, including every one you saw in stock or ss at e-town yesterday. Get a clue about what you are talking about. It's pretty easy to tell from the OP that he was talking about the front struts, even if he did say shocks. The only people who make an adjustable strut for those cars are koni (junk, but cheap. I have them, not a big fan), santhuff ( awesome, but very expensive) and QA1 just released a set that I have no info on.

Not going to argue. Again, the op should call and speak to Eric Saffel at Afco. Might also want to call Mike Pustelny at MPR

Hell I'll call Eric tomorrow, because if AFCO makes a reasonably priced set of struts for a 3rd gen then they have been hiding them. If they actually do make a pair I'd buy them to match the double adjustables on the rear
