Thanks, Craig

Craig, give me a call and I will be glad to help you make sure you’re getting the correct shock to control the bouncing. We are dealers for Santhuff and Afco. So I will give you a few options to meet your budget.

Afco for the WIN

[Mike Pearson]

Santhuff would be my first choice. I have them on my car and they control the bounce perfectly on my Gen 1 Camaro. Afco would be my second choice. I have known some racers that took the Afco shocks off and replaced with Santhuff because the Afco didnt satisfy them on the bounce control.

and I know racers that have thrown their santhuffs in the weeds and Afco’s BNC instantly fixed their bouncing landings. Just watch my videos, there is NO bounce.

I bought a pair of Santhuffs last year from Marty Reinhart. Expensive, yes, BUT, Afco BNC would not stop my Camaro from bottoming out, even after sending them back to Afco 6 times for re-valving. As soon as I installed the Santhufs shocks and landrum springs that Marty recommended, the car was doing 80 foot wheel stands, but lands like its on a cloud. They are the only shock I will run on my Camaro. Call Marty, he will inform you to make a good quality decision.

Randy Mans at FastShocks is another direction you could go with. We’ve had ours since 2017 and have zero bounce when the front end comes down. Great product and Randy is great to work with.

I can tell you Vikings won't control bounce and Randy Manns at Fast Shocks can.

the OP doesn't need shocks built by Randy or Dave or any other custom shock builder nor does he need Santhuffs. The videos I have provided show clearly that Afco BNC's not only control wheelstand bounce but eliminates it as my 3244 lb. Firebird with 55% of that on the front tires has zero bounce when touching down, it's perfection in motion!
