I disagree with the premise that stock class is an entry class to the sport
and that cost containment is a primary importance in stock or any
preparation level.
In the last ten years in the sport I have spent about $5K on shocks. In
the same time period I have spent close to $30K on tires!!! The whole
shock debate is a giant red herring. Shock costs are minimal, even with
$3600 shocks, when averaged over the competitive life of a car. Tire costs
are much higher and if anyone was worried about cost containment, then
tires would be the number one place to start controlling costs!
