When building a classic muscle car, street rod, or pro-street machine, you know that suspension is everything. AFCO Performance Group, one of the trusted companies when it comes to making car handles, just dropped their new Accelerator Series chrome coil-over shocks, and they’re worth a look.

These aren’t just about bling. Sure, they’re chrome, but they’re designed to seriously improve your ride and give you adjustability. Whether you’re cruising Main Street, ripping down the drag strip, or just want a better feel on the road, these coil-overs are up to the task.

The beauty of a coil-over is that it combines the shock and spring into one unit. This makes adjusting your ride height a breeze – AFCO says you get a full 3 inches of adjustment to play with. Plus, these shocks use rubber bushings, which is a nice touch. It helps keep things quieter and smoother, unlike some of those harsh race-only setups.

AFCO has these for both front and rear, and they’ve made them to fit common bolt sizes – 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch (they include the adapters). The shocks have specific dimensions, with a 12.5 center-to-center ride height, 9.75 compressed length and a 14.63 extended length.

You also get to pick from a bunch of different 10-inch spring rates to match your car’s weight and how you plan to use it. Just remember to mount these shocks with the shaft pointing up.

Each kit comes with everything you need. Two shocks, two springs, the spanner wrench for adjusting ride height, and the adapter sleeves. In addition to that, AFCO offers a one-year warranty, so you’re covered.

Here’s a cool idea from AFCO: use these as “tow shocks” for your drag car. Swap them in to save wear and tear on your expensive race shocks while you’re trailering – pretty smart.

The Accelerator Series is all about giving you control. They let you dial in your car’s stance and handling, whether you’re building a show-quality ride or something that’s ready to tear up the track. They’re a practical upgrade that can seriously transform how your car feels and performs.
