So rear coilovers are legal in IHRA stock eliminator class? Did you use the relocation mount for the lower shock mount or use the stud style rear shock? Thanks

They are not coil overs. They are stud mount. I guess they could be coil overs as they have a threaded body. The compression adjuster is on the bottom, extension is on top.

Jason I have a budget build 4th gen Camaro we are running IHRA stock with right now and I cant speak for longevity but I have been VERY pleased with the ole three way adjustable Competition Engineering shocks that have been around forever. I set em on 50/50 and was amazed at how good the car works with them. For the $$$$ they are hard to beat.
