The lakewoods are WAY too stiff on extension and I really like the calverts but I`m sure there`s better............

I got mine from Summit, 90/10 cheep and seem to work good for me
Been 1.29 60's footbraking with the summit cheap three ways. I did buy a set of calverts about 4 months ago and they are still in the trailer. Might put them on and try them at Bristol for the Mopar race next month.

I'm using the Calvert 90/10s right now but my front end is staying up the whole way down the track. Going to put my SP1s back in to try and correct it??? Haven't had the Caverts that long but they seem to be a quality piece.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.

I would like to know what people like to run for front shocks on a 3050lb 9sec a body with ladder bar rear. I have lakewoods now.. they seem to suck. Calverts or some other double adjustable front shock?????? I want to go with a bobsprofab front end.... .but that isnt in the cards for awhile unfortunatly.
To answer the 'subject' of your post.....Santhuff here and they made a huge improvement. Get ahold of Mike Roth if you are ready to step up to the best shock.
Looking at your et and being a ladder bar car, I think these shocks (santhuffs) are your best bet.
