Yeah, don't buy bilsteins because they didn't work on a sprint car. Gotta love this place.

Didn’t work on a sprint car 30+ years ago.

I had luck with KYB . I got Rancho with the calvert drag suspension they worked good . The best were QA1 aluminum body adjustable but Expensive.

I just bought QA1 coil overs now again from S&W race cars. The reason was we don't know the actual weight yet and they will exchange the coils there. We bought everything from S&W because we can drive there.

I believe the best bang for the buck would be KYB.

Trash one of the best shocks available for these cars and recommend one of the cheapest, poorest performing shocks on the market. Yup, that figures.

I’ve run RCD Bilsteins for years and tens of thousands of miles. They’re one of the best shocks available, especially if you’re running larger diameter torsion bars. There’s better stuff out there for the full on pro-touring cars, but the price really goes up.

KYB’s are hot garbage. I have a direct comparison between the two, I went from KYB’s on my Challenger to RCD Bilsteins and no other changes were made. It was a night and day improvement, I immediately regretted every second I’d had the KYB’s on the car. It was probably one of the most noticeable single upgrades I’ve made from a suspension performance standpoint, and I had 1.12” torsion bars and Hotchkis UCA’s on that car. I mean dumping those KYB’s in the trash for the Bilsteins was right up there with more than doubling the wheel rate for handling improvement.
