HOWDY YALL, I am looking to buy a set of 90/10 shocks for my 69 bee and I wanted to know if anyone had any advice?? Or perhaps a particular brand they had bad luck with and I should stay away from? I read what vendors are selling but of course everyone says their stuff is the best...but I'd like to hear what the folks racing think cuz those suckers are not cheap :sick

Asta lluego amigos.

I ran plain ole Comp Engineering adjustable shocks. They are a little tricky to adjust if you have to but I just set 'em to 90/10 and left 'em.

Stock Imperial NON gas charged shock will be the best.

I wrench on it every weekend trying to work out the bugs but with bad weather and the wrong parts being sent it hasn't been easy. My bee against your bird, I'd say let's do it, however, I'd better put some roller skates on my car to help it go faster :aok
