I have seen a lot of problems with the conversion shock setups out there and you risk frame damage running with those shocks.

Unless you do stupid things like I do and bottom the suspension and break the frame, but I digress. I've run the Armstong adjustables for a long time and they work great. With a little tuning, you can get rid of the rear squat when you tromp on it, Makes the car handle completely differently.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Delrin is a trademark, I believe - the material is the same as Nylatron.

I am replacing the existing Koni front adjustable shocks (PN 80-1784). Bushings are worn out as likely are the shocks. Same with the rear adjustable SPAX shocks on my ’69 TR6 racecar.
