I had AFCO BNC double adjustable shocks on the front of my Camaro for 3 years. They could not control the landing of the 3 foot wheel stands. My car was bottoming out so bad it was literally knocking the headlights out of it! I sent them back to AFCO 6 different times to try to get the valving right. They never got it right. Then I talked to Mart Reinhart. He explained why this was happening. I bought a set of Santhuff's from Marty Reinhart. Yes they are expensive, but I no longer have the smash landings like before. The car lands like its on a cloud! And I can now control how high the front end comes up on the wheel stands. If I want a 3 foot wheelie, I loosen them to 4 turns. If I want to hit a pro tree, I just tighten them to 1/2 turn and the front end stays on the ground, and I pick up .030 on the tree. I am EXTREMELY happy with these shocks and all the suggestions by Marty. He is aces to deal with. Highly recommend calling Marty for your issue.
