don't want to start a new thread so im going to highjack this one. I don't usually use run shocks on compacts and when I am allowed I usually weld em to the side of the frame. I have never demoed or even taken shocks off big cars. im running a show where I can use shocks but must be in stock manor. does anyone have suggestions on what shocks to use and pics of how there setup stock? sorry my for my lack of knowledge just never messed with em much. researched this a lot on here but most are just welded on and not stock at all.

Black water pipe? No bueno. Why no bueno? Guys make "mopar" shocks out of them all the time. You just keeping putting different pipe in the other till it is solid. |

Would a set out of a duster be any good?

Find out for yourself the hard way like a did. Why would you go through the work of stuffing a piece of pipe instead of using one thick piece to begin with? Whatever floats your boat.
