SHS Launch Shocks

SHS rear Launch Shocks use KW Variant 3 technology to allow you to independantly adjust the rebound and compression to achieve less squat and better traction on hard launches in a drag racing situation, or to induce more oversteer on a track car.



Picture a car under hard accelleration at the starting line of a drag race; all weight transferring first to the rear of the chassis until the building inertia allows the car to regain the balance its front to rear equilibrium. This scenario is repeated with each shift of the gears as the car tears its way up the strip.

During that time, the unweighted front drive axle is unable to transmit full power to the ground. By tightening up the compression on your rear shocks alone, the shock absorbers fight the weight transfer to keep downforce over the front axle; resulting in better traction (and better quarter mile times).

In a race track situation, you can set up the rear damping to create an oversteer reaction to help push the car through the twists and turns.

Each set of Launch shocks includes 2 rear shock absorbers with adjusting tools.
