AFCO Shocks

Single Adjustable

Description: AFCO Single Adjustable Shocks are an economical alternative to the fully double adjustable design. The single adjustment gives you the ability to adjust rebound damping control without affecting the compression damping characteristics of the shock. The rebound adjustment is the most critical in tuning a drag racing setup. This adjustment allows the tuner to dial in the separation of the chassis and keep the tires planted during the critical first 60’ down the track. Extension adjustable only – will not affect compression. Widest range of adjustment on the market. Make a click and feel the change. 100% dyno tested. Sold individually.

Double Adjustable

Description: AFCO ELIMINATOR Twin Tube Adjustable Shocks are built specifically for drag racing. Their onboard data acquisition systems help us know what your car is doing every 0.001 of a second. They’ve engineered the ELIMINATOR to control it at every point. This gives you, the racer, unsurpassed traction. AFCO double adjustable shocks are the ultimate tool in the chassis tuner’s arsenal. The double adjustments of both compression and rebound damping are completely independent. Changing the setting of one has no effect on the setting of the other. By allowing full control over both compression and rebound forces, this shock gives the tuner the ability to fine tune every aspect of chassis movement to provide the ultimate in acceleration control and overall drivability. Widest range of adjustment on the market. Make a click and feel the change. 100% dyno tested. Sold individually.

Monotube Canister

Description: The Big Gun X Series Double Adjustable Monotube shocks are specifically valved for extremely high horsepower drag radial tire equipped applications. With this valving package, chassis tuners can better control the hit to the tire using this series of shocks. Drag radial competitors require a unique valving package to control the rear suspension and properly apply the radial tire to the track. Don't drive thru your shocks with that big power! If you have 1,500+ horsepower and are on a drag radial tire, this is the valving package you need to complement your race program. Choose this series of shocks for the ultimate control off the line and superior traction down track. For quicker adjustments, mount your AFCO shocks upside-down for unsprung weight savings and easier access to the rebound adjuster. Double Adjustable - broad range of adjustment. Big Gun X Valving - specifically valved for extremely high horsepower applications: ODR, Outlaw 275, X275, 10.5, T/S, and T/D. Great for BIG or SMALL tire door slammers. Large piston provides superior launch and down track stability. Gas pressure eliminates cavitation and allows shock to recover faster. Sold individually.

AFCO Springs

Description: Get the performance you are looking for with the tightest tolerances in the industry. All AFCOILS® are manufactured using ultra-high tensile wire. These springs are guaranteed not to lose more than 1% of free height. Engineered design resists spring lean and bow. Best warranty in the industry! Available in a variety of lengths and spring rates, choose all-black coating or polished chrome. Sold individually.

BMR Springs

Description:  BMR Suspension believes the right springs go beyond looks—your F-body needs to perform, too! All BMR springs are manufactured from chrome silicon high-tensile spring wire, and are cold wound on a CNC coiling machine. The CNC coiling head can adjust the spring diameter in real time to ensure that every spring is exactly the same. This guarantees that your right spring matches your left spring. Every BMR spring is compressed solid at the factory, not once, but twice. This gives the spring its permanent set, and guarantees no sag. BMR springs are stress-relieved at 750 degrees F, ensuring most stresses induced during the winding process are eliminated. All springs are then shot-peened to eliminate residual surface stresses. Every spring is computer tested as the last step. These springs will drop the front end of your GM F-body 1.25-inches, and feature a fine-tuned spring rate to give you great handling and a smooth ride. Fits '93-'02 Camaro and Firebird.  Sold as set of 4, red powdercoat.

STEERING

BMR Steering Conversion Kits

Description:  Adding a manual steering rack and reducing weight and parasitic loss on your Fourth Gen GM F-body is easy with a manual steering conversion kit from BMR Suspension. This kit consists of a custom Pinto-style manual steering rack, steering shaft with universals, billet mount, and bump steer kit, and is designed to fit 1993-2002 GM F-Bodies with BMR manual rack K-members. BMR’s manual steering rack conversion kit (RK001) is designed for enthusiasts looking to save weight and reduce parasitic power loss by eliminating the factory power steering. BMR designed the RK001 manual steering conversion kit for street performance and drag race applications. The Fourth Gen F-body a-arms pivot from a width that is 2-inches wider than the inner tie rod pivot points of a Pinto-style rack and pinion. To compensate for this, BMR provides a custom width rack just for this application. The rack extension has been biased to the passenger side of the vehicle relocating the steering shaft an inch to the driver’s side, allowing for improved header clearance.
***NOTE, this kit only works with BMR-1 K-members designed for manual steering. This kit will require drilling of your spindle. It is suggested that a "skinnie" wheel be used to get full adjustment from the bumpsteer kit.***
