Overall Assessment

Customers highly rate our product for its perfect fitment, long-lasting quality, and reasonable pricing. The AFCO shocks are particularly recommended for budget racers and have proven to improve handling noticeably on various types of cars, including classic and race models. They have been praised for performing optimally during extensive use, such as in a full-length 24-hour race, without any signs of fading or leakage, demonstrating their sturdiness and endurance. The shocks also remain consistent throughout a race as they are gas-charged, preventing fluid overheating, which sets them apart from competitor brands. However, some users noted issues with the longevity of lower bushings, suggesting potential room for improvement.

Held up well for endurance race

We bought these to use in the full length 24 Hours of Lemons race at Autobahn Raceway. We spoke directly with Afco first and told them what we were doing and what our corner weights were. Based on our application they recommended these shocks. Afco gives thier distributors a cost advantage so it was less expensive to order from Speedway than right from the factory. We custom mounted them in the front of a '03 Ford Ranger. The old bottom mounts needed to be pressed in but they fit great. Not overly racy looking so we didn't get dinged for having performance parts and we didn't notice any fading or leaking over a full 24 hour race. Well worth the cost!

WORKS GOOD ON THE TRACK BUT DOES NOT HOLD UP FOR LONG

THESE WERE INSTALLED ON MY LEAF SPRING CAMERO FOR 7 RACES AFTER WINNING A FEATURE ON 7/11/15 I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP AND FOUND A LOWER BUSHING THAT HAD CAME ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE LOWER MOUNT ON THE P/SIDE SHOCK , I THEN INSPECTED THE SHOCK ON THE D/SIDE AND FOUND IT COMING OUT BUT NOT ALL THE WAY OUT YET,, I HAVE USED CARRERA AND PRO SHOCKS IN THE PAST BUT HAVE FOUND THEY OVERHEAT THE FLUID TOWARD THE END OF THE RACE ,, THE AFCO S ARE GAS CHARGED SO THE STAY CONSISTANT THE WHOLE RACE

I bough these shocks to run in my street stock, and man what a difference. I had issues with the handling on my car until I switched to the Afco shocks and springs. It was a night and day difference. I would recommend these shocks for any one looking for an affordable shock that performs extremely well.
