Competition Engineering Rear Coil-Over Shock Kits come with 3-way adjustable shocks, upper mounts, adjustable lower mounts, and with or without springs.
They work with a variety of applications, including drag race, Pro Street, street rods, and kit cars.
The upper mounts are finished in black oxide ready for welding.
The lower mounts allow 6" of adjustability in 1/2" increments.
The spring perches and lower mounts are finished with a zinc and yellow chromate plating for corrosion resistance.

Vehicle weight is critical to suspension performance.
So choosing the correct spring rate based on rear end weight maximizes the suspension's ability to function and improve traction.
