Just wondering how heavy duty rear shocks should be with stock rear suspension? I just have a set of stock rear shocks in it but I have a set of carrera heavy duty rear shocks with heim joint ends. They have big shafts and seem to be fairly stiff. Just wondering if I would be better off with a stiffer shock? can it be to much?

Put them on and see Only one way to really find out, right Some cars like slow rear shock extension and some don't

They look like really nice shocks. Looks like they are $140 a pc. but looks like they are most common on roundy round cars!

As far as I know Carrera doesn`t make drag shocks but as stated try em and see. I chased my tail for years trying this and that and went no where so today I try to use designated proven parts for my intended purpose of "drag racing".

I prefer a adjustable shock, specially for a race/street
car... that way you can soften them up for the road
