Suggustions on what to replace with, should I go with a front drag setup or should I stick with my current auto-x and track setup?

edit: why would i have to replace both sides? do you think the rebound has faded over time?
New shock + old shock = imbalanced performance. Probably not necassary to, but it would be a good idea if you can swing it.

As for what you should go with, you're the one that drives the car. If you Auto X why would you go with a Drag setup?

parts such as springs and shocks/struts are usually replaced in pairs.

I might as well just replace them both with what I've got now. Im ok with them, they just dont hook-up for launching. Which is probablly more related to my factory Traction t/a's[8D]

My front drivers side shock is "leaking" if I touch the stiffness adjuster on the top of the shock a little bit of fluid leaks out. What should I do?



Replace it.

I agree, replace both sides. the seal has got to be getting brittle in the other one as well.
