Which adjustable shocks?

[SSG_Karg]

Sugestions on "entry level" adjustable rear shocks. For Duster with stock leaf springs, 4 speed, and 10.5 slicks. Budget is under $200. Thanks.

80% street 20% strip. I need new shocks anyway, so instead of stock replacement figured I'd upgrade.
Not too worried about ride comfort.
I've been eyeballing these Koni 80-1539 SPA1 Adjustable Rear Shocks, Pair, 1961-76 Duster/Valiant | eBay
Thoughts?

I have a set of those on another vintage car I have. And I like them. But on our Detroit iron an external adjustable Rancho (believe it or not) micro adjustable rear shock (RS99116) that fits the platform is prob the hot ticket. I use them with my full CalTracs set up on my Dart & cant fault 'em.

I would save up a few more bucks and get a Viking double adjustable. Worth every penny even for a street car.

Cheap, Competition Engineering within budget easy. Generally they can be used effectively.
Step up, QA1
Top shelf, Viking

Agreed. Not looking for top shelf for a street car that only sees the track 6 or 8 times a year. Just a nice shock with some adjustability that won't break my wallet. I am still leaning towards the Konis listed above. If someone has experience with these on an Abody, speak up.

Thanks for the input guys. Researched a few different options and went with the Rancho 9 way adjustable shocks RS99116. Got a pair on eBay for a "good" price.

Slicks for track/ L60s for street.

Get a set of sportsman pros and you'll be all set for both.

Is that what you're using? You like them?
