Sorry if this has been covered some where, i did a search and couldn't find anything.
I'm looking at getting double adjustable rear shocks for bump and rebound and wondering if any one has tried them and did they help.
I've found if i go too stiff with springs or bags it shocks the tyre into wheel spin and if i go to soft it squats to far and rolls onto the inner edge of the tyre.
I'm hoping by controlling the squat with the bump and running minimal rebound to keep it from porposing though the 60 it mite help.
Any suggestions would be great and if i'm barking up the wrong tree please let me know.
These are the shocks i'm looking at http://www.afabcorp.com/AFCO_Dynatec...gory_Code=dr_T
Thanks

Afco stuff is what we use and a great way to go.........but get out your wallet .

Thanks for that.

There not cheap especially when you have to buy them in Australian dollars, that why i thought i'd ask before i spent any money on them.

Let me know if we can help get you parts -- maybe save a few bucks -- do you have an import tax or ??? Not sure how things work down under...............

Thanks mate, i mite just take you up on that when i work out what i need.

We pay an import tax if its over a $1000. Sometimes its cheaper to split your order by a week and have 2 purchases under $1000 than 1 over depending on freight costs.

OK, Ive finally worked out the shocks I'm going to get. There QA1 DTC2501P Stocker Star® Double Adjustable shocks- http://qa1.thomasnet.com/item/sports...mpare&filter=0. Now the problem is they don't do international sales and there email enquiries reject emails from international servers so does anybody know who stocks them that does sales to Australia.
Thanks

Thanks, Summit sell internationally so i'll get on to them.

**Drunkin Goat** · 04-01-2009, 03:43 AM

If it remember correctly the summit ones are only single adjustable the ones I looked at right from QA1 are double adjustable. They were I think around $700 for a set.
