We have run both.

We prefer Calvert Shocks on all our Stock and our Super/Stock
car

We have lost the seals on the CE shocks several times.

I have found that the CE's are more in the range of 70/30-50/50 than 90/10. OK for low HP car.

Chip, I have a pair of Calvert front shocks that I just took off my 67 Camaro stocker. Looking to sell them for $65 for the pair plus shipping. They worked great, just need an adjustable shock to control wheelstand better. Send me a PM with your phone number if you are interested.

They are the best true 90/10 non adjustable shock out there. Especially for the money. I've ran adjustable Koni's, Calverts, double adjustable Vari-Shocks, CE and went back to the Calverts. I want to try the DA BNC Afco's next but that's a $700 pair of shocks versus a $133 pair of shocks.
