rear shock ?

What would be your preference as to rear shocks? qa1 single adj. cal tracks or comp engineering. Also why . 67 camaro.

thanks

Got Caltrac single adjustable on our '67, but can't give you any conclusive benefits as we have not tested them yet. My guess is as horsepower levels increase better suspension control methods will yield better results. Probably not a dimes difference between brands up to a point.

Double adjustable Koni. can be used without the coil spring. more tunable

I fit my car with DA Santuff's front and rear. While pricey, they work really well and the craftsmanship is second to none.

Thanks for the replys. We have both the qa1 and comp. eng. The comp ones have three settings the qa1 seems with the settings it changes both rebound and ext. the same. This is a stick car trying to figure an initial setting and which ones?

We run a stick and have had good luck with DA Afcos. We sent in for some valving
adjustment, and they work well in all conditions. I have heard of santuffs being really nice, but $$$.

All of the shocks you listed will work, but are throw away if you have problems. In the shock world, you get what you pay for. What are you using them for? In a stock application, I would use the Afco double adjustable shock. Call Randy at Fastshocks for a good price and advice. 612-306-5387
As a side note, Randy rebuilds Koni, Afco Penske & JRI shocks and has done work for many of the "noteable" racers in NHRA, IHRA, NMCA, etc.

I'd stay away from the CE's. Again, you get what you pay for. It all depends on how much you want to spend. If you are on a budget, the Cal Trac shocks are very good for the money.
