Quote: bought the car in 97 built it raced from 98-2002 with what ever old shock were on the front run CE 50/50 on the back
So what's your point? I used to run my own car with drilled front stock shocks and some old truck shocks, with homemade extenders and managed to get it down the track. But was it the BEST it could be........hell no........far from it. But a couple years later, that same car with good shocks was going high teen 60fts on a 10.5 tire.
"Good enough" is relative to who is saying it. Your interpretation of that statement and mine are likely different
