Friction shocks

Edited: 12/21/2007 3:41:18 AM by lemndrpd

hey max what do you know about friction shocks? saw them in the speedway catalog and was wondering if something like that would work on a mini. im wanting to connect them to the lower arm on my irs cause i think they would look alot cleaner than a shock would.

they look good but dont perform that well

just as troy says they are not good for much of anything. the friction shocks use two things, either leather for friction or a stone disk. the stone disk works better but still nothing super great. the leather ones are not worth anything as for function. you could try a knee action shock. they look like a friction shock but they have fluid and they are just like a regular shock and they do work. fluid knee action shocks were on model a fords and they also used them on small british sports cars like early MG's and such. hope this helps
