Actually I quit my job to go into business for myself so I am on computers all day long now.
Now you are really stirrin the pot there Don. That will teach me to drive the finish line too hard I did get reamed when I came back to the trailer for that little stunt
My recommendations for yours is probably exactly what I have on mine. Double adjustable on the rear and the Reactor series front. I got a really nice setup that it really liked the three speed. My glide (yes I have gone to the dark side) seems to like a less agressive setup.

Eric, got a question.
I'd like a set of doubles for the rear of my 68 dart which is still leaf sprung, but wonder if I could get them already setup for coil springs as well, so if I decide to go tri-4 link later I wouldn't need shocks as well? Is this possible or are shock lengths and travels massively different?

That will not be an issue. The doubles will have the same shock body either way.

So the Reactor shocks are $199 a piece? Is that the super dooper ultra secret shock you were testing not long ago?

How do Afcos compare in quality to Strange?

That would be the one. In fact my shocks are still wrapped with the purple duct tape They even put a picture of my car on their flyer for the shocks.

Where AFCO really differs from the rest is in the design of their valving which they refer to as "Velocity sensitive".
My only experience with Strange was on the rear. My car was more consistent with the AFCO's on the back than with the Strange. I do like the increased adjustability of the AFCO versus the Strange. My front shocks have 44 clicks worth of adjustment on the rebound setting. AFCO also has a nice rebuild program as well.

Thanks for all the PM's guys. My box got slammed and I hope I didn't miss responding to anyone.
