Time to replace the coilovers on my Duster. Looking at going with Afco double adjustable. Just wondering what the other Dusters are running for a spring. 110 or 125 pound springs.

We run 130# springs. Car weighs 3140 with me in it and is about a 50/50 split with the aluminum block and heads.

We are running the reactor shocks, but have not been down the track yet, maybe this weekend. My spring weight seems way off compared to you guys?  I am running 250# springs.  Car weighs about 3300 with driver. Diego

Ted, he is looking at the rear shocks, not the fronts

I run 95# springs in the rear. car is 50-50 and is 2650 with me in it.
Forgot to add the shocks. Koni electrics.
they are not all they cracked up to be. Got them from a buddy, his car was 2800lbs and 21-2300 hp depending on the set up. the shocks were set up for his car. Needless to say I need to get them rebuilt and re-valved. that tune is about $750.  
How much were your afco double adjustables?

Bob,
I thought the big gun shocks where only for high horsepower cars. Unlike my sled.

MoparTony,
The AFCO double adjustable and coilovers are less than what you spent on re-valving the electric Konis. From Jegs they are around $700 for the pair.

the Big Gun is for any hard hitting car that might run thru the shock
