What brand of shock do people trust? I'm building a Healey 3000 with all new suspension, coilovers on both ends and I need to decide what to buy. I was going with Varishocks, but was told they are strictly for drag racing. I spoke to them on the phone, and their quality rep seems good. There are lots of racing shocks around, but I don't know how long they last, most seem to be aimed at the budget circle track market. Bilstein and Koni are probably the top quality choices.
Thanks-- |

Thanks-- There's no much room, especially in back. Without reworking the frame the axle has to run above the frame rails. What are you gonna do back there? In the front, I am guessing you have something figured out to replace the lever shocks as upper arms? Sounds fun, give us some more details and maybe we can help more. patrick |
