TheOtherDodge OP master Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 4,953 Houston, Texas	Im looking to get a set of rear double adjustable shocks. I dont know what exact extended and compressed length (but needs to be very short). Any suggestions on brands? place to buy? What is the best bang for the buck? Or should I get a single adjustable? Thanks!

Hear alot of good thinks about Afco's shocks. Eric also is a dealer and he may be able to beat that price.

They work well for what I have, it's gone 1.38 60' @ 3260# on a ET Street Radial with a pump gas 408 and 4.10 gears. That being said, if I were buying shocks, most likely I'd buy Strange doubles. Apparently AFCO has a good handle on their drag shocks and not so much on their roundy shock for dirt cars.
