Olds Cutlass front suspension help

Third set of shocks, Santuffs, finally fixed mine. I would buy nothing else now. Had QA1s, then paid a self proclaimed shock guru to re-valve them. No improvement.

Then AFCO fronts, with their new BNC valving. Still had to run them full tight both directions. Still hard to keep it from unloading, still bounced on landing. Re-valved, better but not enough. Many racers are using AFCOs with great results. I could never get them slow/stiff enough for mine.

Santuffs fixed it. I can make it stand straight up, or hardly pick them up at all by adjusting the front shocks. Much wider adjustment range. And, no more bouncing when it lands. I spent enough on two sets of shocks, freight and phone calls & re-valving to pay for the Santuffs.
