Has anyone tried the Johnny O'CONNELL shocks?
We are in Plano which can't be far from NE Dallas.

We have been using the stock shock mounts for years with our adapters. No issues. Go to our site and watch the "Bring the Log" Video. They you will see what we mean.

Like I said, there is no shock on the market with more or better R&D and results than our package. A person's name on the package does not make it a good product

All I can say is drive over to plano and take a look at our Coil over package and what we have in house and you will be impressed.

We use the Bilstein Double adjustable on our Race cars with great success but we have years of Shock valving experience and data to support our choices.

Generally if you are driving on the street or occasional track days WITHOUT a shock engineer or years of shock experience under your belt--You are better off with a non adjustable.

a shock with 10 adjustments is by definition incorrect in 9 of the positions because there is only 1 position that is best.

Either way, you are going to have plenty of smiles on your face with Coil over package.


thanks
