Picked up a couple of double adjustable front shocks for the Cuda from M2Performance in Indiana last week. I enjoyed visiting Mike Roth's shop where he has some all out chassis projects on the go...

These Santhuff shocks are impressive to view and I can't wait to try them out in May once the snow melts.

Cheers,

Arnie

The problem I have heard about those shocks is the lack of travel. Let us know how they turn out.

1 click at a time is very noticeable unlike other shocks out there. You will love them

If you don't have enough travel you did not buy the correct shock for your application.

Travel is not an issue for me as I already restrict the front end travel to 2.5" in order to control the wheelies...

The A body shocks have 3.5" travel, which is multiplied at the wheel from the control arms.

Bob, I will install them the 3rd week of April and we can set something up after that.

Cheers,


Arnie

Nope, not cheap... but should help control the wheel stands and my car is very traction sensitive so I need to dial a wheelie.

The Strange double adjustable i was running worked better at full tight on both ext and comp, but I wanted more adjustment.

They are almost twice the cost of the Strange, so I hope to see a difference in control.

The shaft is unreal thick and strong, and Mike Roth said they could be used without travel limiters and topping out will not hurt them.

Can't wait to get them set up.

I plan to start at 6 clicks from full tight on Compression, and 1 / 1/2 turns out from full tight on extension.

Cheers,

Arnie

Hey Fireguy, what 60 foot times do you run? Are you restricting front travel??

72 Demon, they are listed at $1,000 per pair, but contact Mike Roth at Mr2Perfomance and ask for the Moparts discount...

Cheers,

Arnie
