Big Gun Series Shock
Why you need it.
If your goal is to be a force to reckon with in drag-racing, these shocks should be on your "buy" list. They're specifically valved for high-horsepower applications and are great for big- or small-tire door slammers. The large piston provides superior launch stability and the gas pressure eliminates cavitation and allows the shock to recover faster. Coilover kit (not shown) included.

Reactor Gas Shocks
Why you need it.
Give yourself the advantage in bracket racing with these great-priced single-adjustable shocks, offering you the ability to adjust rebound dampening control without affecting compression-dampening characteristics. As most drag racers know, the rebound adjustment is the most critical in tuning a drag racing setup. This adjustment allows the tuner to dial in the "unloading action" of the chassis and keep the rear tires planted during the critical first 60-feet down the track.
Applications
'67-'02 Firebird and Trans Am
'64-'02 GTO, LeMans, and Tempest
