Rear Shocks

[Magnimike1]

We've been hundreds of 1.20's on strange shocks, there's nothing wrong with them. Yes, they are cheaper than QA1's - but QA1's are billet aluminum for starters, and I believe they have heim ends on them as well.

I don't think that an adjustable shock is the answer, but a new set of shocks are a step in the right direction and likely your problem. I'd also look into torn up torque boxes, a VERY possible problem on a high mileage stocker.

I liked my Strange struts. I had Lakewoods on the back. The car was originally a four banger and he hasn't raced it so boxes should be fine.

Thanks brooks, but the torque boxes are fine haven't been to the track and haven't really beat on it to much and it was a 4cyl car till about 6 months ago!

I just bought a set of upper and lower bbk control arms for 130.00 on ebay they also came with 2 used eibach air bags...anyone have any experience with the air bags or the bbks? I thought it was a good deal, bbks are brand new in box...and how do the bags work? I know they go in the springs but how do they help?

When pumped up they make the spring harder to compress and also adjustable with pressure . Most of the time they are used on the passenger side to help the car launch flat .

Cool, got it. Do they work on stock springs or just eibach?

Don't use both bags though. Put one in the passanger side and sell the other to 80coupe.

Also they don't need much air. Maybe 15psi or so to start

lol i think ill just buy some shocks before i mess with that bull crap!

The bags do work but I would only use it at the track . Ruff road driving with the bag full could pop it .

lol at Strange shocks being junk, I've heard they are pretty damn good. SO good in fact, that I have people telling me to sell my QA1's and buy strange.
