Koni strut rebuild

No offense to Randy Mans nor any of the numerous shock rebuilders but they ain't performing magic on the shocks installed in the cars being discussed in this forum and if having your shocks rebuilt resulted in quicker ETs and consistency then your shocks have either never been dialed in or have been dead for a long time.

FYI, my former Super Stock car which launches with the best of them, runs out of the box Afco coilover shocks. Further, the rear shocks were on the car 18 seasons and the front shocks for 13 without a loss of performance nor consistency. At the conclusion of the 2022 season, all 4 shocks were sent back to Afco just because I was rebuilding the car from the bottom up. The rear shocks were replaced with new because Afco no longer had parts for those shocks while the front shocks were rebuilt. Bolted them back on, set the ride, went out and tested to dial in the bump and rebound on all 4 corners and if I didn't tell you I rebuilt and replaced the shocks, no one would ever know as it went right back to winning races.
