Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations on shock absorbers?

My build is at the stage where I need to make this decision
What have you tried, prefer pros and cons please?

My subframes are hydro recently converted to dry cones.... need to consider that as well

Thanks in advance

have you got rear stub axles with the shock mount pin ?
your rear swing arms don't have them at the moment

I converted them to 3/8" unf bolts for him.
And drilled front arms to 3/8".

Jenk - if you do a search on "shock absorbers" there are quite a few posts where this is discussed and recommendations made. :)
