    Adjustable shocks for SRT?

    Does anyone know an adjustable shock that can be used with the stock SRT suspension. I would like on that I can turn down for the strip but not have to drop the rear end just to soften the back up. Also I do not want to drop it any because the road here will chew up the front facia.

    Get some adjustable coilovers (KW, Pedders) and set the car at stochastic height... Or get the Tein kit w/ the electronic shock adjustment if you plan on using it a lot.

    The KW V2s are adjustable for ride (stiffness) but not height. Though I saw that KW was working on something for adjustable height too.

    I am using the AFCO shocks that were developed for the DragPak Challenger. They are higher cost than many alternatives but are the only shocks that are dual adjustable for both compression and rebound. I use settings for street, raod course and drag racing to provide different suspension rates. They are a great product with great heritage on-track success.

    These shocks are not for everyone, but if you want to get serious about your suspension, these are the ones to get.

    The KW's require a wrench for height adjustment, car must be off the ground. He just wants to adjust stiffness though, so they're perfect.

    OK so who sells they KW V2? The drag pack may be a tad to much shock for me where I am right now. Just point me in the right direction. Thanks again for all the info.

    A number of the vendors on the forum can get them. I got my KWs from HHP; but, you may want to shop around.

    **edit**

    Don't get me wrong, I've purchased a lot from Josh at HHP--good vendor. I'm just saying that you may prefer checking other vendors out as well.
