Double Adjustable Front Shocks

njk53 · 01-22-2013, 11:47 AM

Do any of you guys run a double adjustable front shock? Do they perform better than a single adjustable and are they worth the added cost?

We are currently using a Calvert 90/10 and want to upgrade.

Only if you are doing big wheelie's and want to control the rate it hits the ground. There are other ways around this but I have DA shocks all around and it;s a great tuning tool. I went from single to DA QA1's to AfCO's and each step was an improvement.

contact Randy Mans at Fastshocks, 612-306-5387, he will help you out. If you have not had your shocks checked lately, he is the person to talk to. Dyno

Yes, we run Santhuffs, and they were worth some ET, not to mention the car is more consistent and easier to drive.

I just bought a set. Hoping yo be able to take that 65lbs out of the nose and still keep the front end down.

You will like the Santhuffs. They worked wonders on my car. They are tough as nails too.

Good to hear Mike. Thanks! That is what I keep hearing about them.

you will not be sorry if you choose SANTHUFF!

Ed, you've seen the orange 69 Camaro leave. Perfect control, easily adjusted when we move up or down a class. Rock solid, they've been on the car 3 years now, and work just like the day we bolted them on. And Marty Rinehart will do you right on a set.

Alan, I probably paid too much in that case. I just called Santuff. I didn't know any better.
