    The ones on the Mav have studs on top just like the originals and also have studs on the bottom for my ladderbar setup. I am pretty sure they make them for a stock Mav also and I think Summit/Jegs carries them.

    comp engineering makes some. They work ok depending on your budget and use. I'm going with AFCO this time around though. Much nicer and more adjustments, just cost a lot more!

    i wish i could aford some double adjustable shocks right now but that just way out side my budget right now. i currently have some old gabrial red riders and they just dont controle the rear. i raced last weekend and the rear of the car would roll back then quickly unload. im thinking i may try some rancho shocks like calvert racing recomends.

    We just did a 72 camaro with Calvert's rancho shock, split monoleaf, and caltrak set up. They work great. I've also used a set of 15 dollar Carquest shocks on the rear and went 1.36 for 60' times. It's all in how its set up!
