Where do you buy drop shocks?

Where is the best place to get lowered shocks for a 3" front drop and 5" rear drop????. How much do they normally cost?

Re: Where do you buy drop shocks?

I just got the "delux shock kit" from CPP that included the shock relocators for 67-72 and it was $170. I looked at Summit and a few others and the shocks run about $30 each, so the kit was the best deal for my rig.

Re: Where do you buy drop shocks?

if you used spindles in the front you dont need special shocks// for the rear you definately need the relocator kit for them to work right// i buy from speedway using measurements of what i need for custom shocks

Re: Where do you buy drop shocks?

I have no idea what length I need. I'm going with 3" springs in front and 5" springs in rear. It looks like CPP has the best deal with the relocators included. Anybody else have any other brand or place they recommend?.
