I couldnt get my S10 to stop bouncing. Eric revalved them, and went far wrong. Dave C stated that the valving was what he would use on a 5.0 second car...

What front spring?

What are the Comp and Rebound settings?

Which weeds are these?.....I'll snag them.....I like my santhuffs for my mopars, but I must say those Afco's are a very attractive blue, remind me of my bmx days...

Eric hasn't been involved in retail sales for a very long time so your issue was a very long time ago and were your shocks even BNCs?

My BNCs are about 13 years old and were rebuilt last winter by Ben Baker from Afco and I purchased new chrome springs too. My rear Afco shocks and springs are
also brand new and too installed last winter, replacing the Afco's installed by MPR when the car was built in 2004. 20 years of trouble free service and they were never rebuilt.

Nah the chrome just makes the underside more photogenic but I wish considering most of the guaranteed to run quicker/faster parts I have tried in all my race cars over 30 years weren’t worth a tenth and some weren’t worth a hundredth.
