When you are ready to take your drag racing vehicle to the next level, the next step is the installation of double adjustable shocks. Jason Intravaia installed a pair of front adjustable shocks on his 1000+ HP ’79 Camaro. As all experienced drag racers know, adjustability is a priceless asset. Adjustable shocks allow for changes to your vehicle to accommodate various track conditions. Double adjustable gives you control over the compression and rebound. A common setting for a drag racer is to set their double adjustable shocks with a rebound softer than the compression for the optimum weight transfer. Then you test the car and adjust the settings until you get maximum performance.
