Default Single Adjustable shocks

Looking for info (brands & model #'s) of some good adjustable shocks, I'm not drag racing the car so I don't need drag shocks. I may do some autocrossing at some point but rarely. Looking for shocks with better performance than the Bilstien HD & something adjustable...

Anybody know of an Koni yellow's that will fit? I'm not really looking to get into Coilovers... as that could be a little more that what I am looking for.

I'm really open to any good brand of shock.

Will be running them with 700lb springs in front & possibly 250lb rears.

Afco has some double adjustables for $299 right now in there T2 pro-touring model.

Varishock is a good bolt in adjustable shock.

I agree, the AFCO T2 adjustables are great shocks. These are what we use in our upper end packages and in our torque arm conversion kits and we couldn't be happier. You can't go wrong with a set of these....

I have varishock. They are good but they are not bolt ins, you have to take the spring out to put them in. At least that is with a 67 camaro.

The QA1 single adjustable 12 way shock is a real bargain on a good shock. We have them for $135 each
