    Quick AFCO rear shock question

    Heard good things about this AFCO front shock (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/AFCO-1...7-7,24417.html) in the "Making a box not handle like a box.." thread. What's a good AFCO rear shock to run with this? I'll be running 925 front springs/175 rear springs, if that helps.

    Definitely curious about this too

    85 4 door 351 Civi Crown Victoria - Summer daily driver, sleeper in the making, and wildly inappropriate autocross machine
    160KMs 600cfm holley, shorty headers, 2.5" catted exhaust, 255/295 tires, cop shocks, cop swaybars, underdrive pulley, 2.73L gears.
    waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

      First you need to install the springs and measure distance between mounting points of the shocks. Then find a shock that is in mid travel. Car must be on its wheels to measure properly. Many shocks will give extended and compressed length so some math is needed to find mid travel. Some give a mid travel range.
      For the rear another option is available an adapter that allows eye mounts for the upper end so both ends would be like the bottom mount. Doing this eliminates the issue with cutting the top pin mount off to remove the shock.

        That is how you're supposed to jack it.

        Up and down.

          Will do. I made a new thread becuase I didn't want to thread-jack, haha. Moderator(s), please delete this thread. I'll re-post in Bobcat's thread.
