Control Big Horsepower at the Drag Strip with AFCO Big Gun Coilover Shocks

ig horsepower can help win races—if you can control how it hits the rear tires. A good set of coilover shocks like AFCO’s Big Gun coilovers can help you do that. Choose the Big Gun Gas Canister shock for cars with slicks or Big Gun Xs for radial tire cars. The monotube shocks have a large piston for superior launches and down track stability and are gas-charged to eliminate cavitation and recover faster. That will help put that power to the pavement where it will do some good.

Other features include:
• Lightweight aluminum design
• Extremely sensitive valving means even the smallest adjustments are noticeable
• Adjusters keep their settings without moving
• Independently adjustable compression and rebound
• Rebuildable and revalvable

Big Gun Gas Canister Coilover Rear Shocks for Slicks
These are for you racers running slicks and 1,500-plus horsepower in Pro Street, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster, Outlaw 10.5, and similar classes. Big Gun Gas Canister coilovers have an extra-large piston for more stability at launch so your tires can hook up when the power hits. These shocks can be mounted upside down for easier access to the rebound adjuster.

Big Gun X Coilover Rear Shocks for Radial Tires
These shocks are valved specifically for high-horsepower cars running in drag radial classes like Xtreme Street, Ultra Street, and X275. The valving setup and a high-flow piston help control the rear suspension for consistent tire bite on the track surface. Big Gun X Coilovers can be mounted upside down to reduce unsprung weight and have better access to the rebound adjuster.

You’ll need springs since the Big Gun shocks don’t come with them. We carry a big selection of AFCO AFCOIL coil springs that should meet your needs.
