    Afco shocks ?

    Anybody have any suggestions. Car has been checked over and shocks dynoed but having traction problems. Does anyone know if this is a problem with afco silver series gas shocks. Dry track. Lf60psi rf40psi lr120psi rr 40psi. Thanks

        Are you running a traction shock on the front of the lr birdcage?

              How much gas pressure in the 6-0 shock in front of the LR?

                  i think i would run the 90 psi in the LR behind shock and the 120psi in the LR traction shock. and you can go higher with them pressures but ive never been over 100psi on LR behind shock, and sometimes go up to 180 psi on traction shock

                    If you're running a high compression gas shock in front, disconnect before scaling. It will give false bite numbers.

                      I was thinking the same thing: higher gas pressure in the LR shock in front

                        put your traction shock on a clamp bracket

                          What kind of car are you dealing with? Are those percentages with the driver in the car or without?

                            2006 rocket, I already disconnect when scaling and always scale with driver weight in seat
