Introducing AFCO's 81 Series Stock Mount Shocks, designed with dedicated shock tuners in mind. These gas shocks are ideal for those seeking a stock mount option without the need for extensive and costly equipment to service them. Engineered to fit GM A/G Body Style cars in their original location, the 81 Series shocks boast optimized lengths that maximize compliance with IMCA and other sanctioning bodies' regulations. The AFCO 81 Series Shock is available in both front and rear mount, multiple valving choices, and can be custom built to fit your needs.

  • AFCO’S 81 Series Stock Mount Shocks are designed specifically for Southern Sport Mod, Hobby Stock, and Street Stock cars.

  • Engineered for GM A/G Body Style cars, the 81 Series shocks offer a convenient stock mount option.
