Adjustable rear shocks
Need info on reccomended adjustable rear shocks for a 13 second 82 model TH/350 3.42 diff.
car has new 3.42 eaton true track and its a bit quicker bottom end as a result,,
car is sitting low in the rear at rapid acceleration and bottoming out on gear changes.
running 255/60/15 tires and i have upgraded my rear springs to 20% more heavier,,done by consultation from the spring maker here in my town..
i dont want to go heavier in the springs but feel i can use an adjustable shock and get it set with adjustments
they say the summit shocks are not too good as the adjuster goes round and round and no stop point..
the koni looks good as does the KYB 743019... has anyone bought these before.
I see lakewood make a drag shock but i cant find information on it...or how it works and its non adjustable..
I dont need full on race shocks @ $500 a set either,as this is a daily driver
i can run a 12.8 or 12.9 if i stop it wheel spinning
