Afco Edge 10 shock package

[rubbinsracin]

our shocks are starting to get to the end of their life....ok they are all but dead....this winter we are looking to get a package and we have talked to a few people that have got this package and it definitely made them more consistent instantly. a top ten car became a top 5 car overnight. has anyone else used this package? does the $1700 price tag seem reasonable for a 10 shock package? could i go to a shock builder and get a package that would give me the same or better performance for less??

You get what you pay for!

I agree you get what you pay for. I think your better off picking up a used set of higher end shocks. I am not an afco fan, especially off the shelf. The tuned stuff like envy sells may be a good shock, but for the money I will get an ohlins or Penske set. That is my preference. Call some of the shock builders, you will get a better set than off the shelf more often than not.

Envy is top notch. If you are planning on going with afco, I wouldn't buy the edge package, I would just call Kirk and get the same package redone by him. We have ran numerous brands, but getting a set from him made a huge difference.

yeah, our shock rules are pretty strict, we have to run twin tubes of any brand, no gas except a traction shock in front of the LR. and it sounds like next year they are only allowing standard twin tubes. no adjustable or canisters, just plain regular twins.
