Thread: Coil over replacement

Tweet

Adjustable on the rebound is really handy on a drag car, no reason it won't work the same on the street... Does the literature that came with the shocks say what the valving is? Now that the Plymouth is almost done I'm starting to think on some suspension for the 'maro.... But I've taken so much weight off the car and put a lot of setback on the engine so I'm going to need some big numbers valve on the down side and either adjustable or a split valve on the rebound.... Curious what QA is building these days....The price on them is certainly a lot better then the AFCO's I keep thinking I'm going to need......

I was "playin'" with the valve adjustment before I set the springs into place. On the third click you can really feel the resistance coming on. I don't have the paperwork here at the house but I'm going down tomorrow after work and can scan it / send it to you if your so inclined. I was really interested in the AFCO's after the comments from you and IC2 and was headed in that direction but the costs were climbing and xmas and all.... I figured I better compromise and get a good value, when black friday come into play, they had a sale and no shipping costs so I went for it. The tech at AFCO\Speedway was great to work with and was willing to answer any question(s) and concerns.

Yup, I've always had real good results when talking with the techs at Speedway. Had a very interesting chat with them the other day about the new AFCO Reactor shocks---expensive but lots of tuneability built into them--double adjustable plus easy to change valving around inside.... Have to see how things look when I start putting the 'maro together and playing with it on the scales.
