I don't think this is a rule for the class, it just happens to be the way that company put the shock on their cars. Earlier they mention that you can use any shock and give sample cost of up to $600/shock

It's interesting and worth considering how they got around expensive shocks with their shock rule. I advise everyone to read the shock rule for these inexpensive cars so I'm pasting it below .. The *COILON*à units consist of a Dodge Dakota Gabriel rear shock (gas bag type), a 3/8â rod end (which screws onto the pin end of the shock), the shock washers provided with the shock, spacer washers, one industrial die spring and two industrial die spring cups. The result is a compact inexpensive unit (a spring ON top of a coil) that rivals the big guys in performance and beats the heck out of all of them in terms of price. Industrial die springs are available from any number of industrial supply and mail order shops in rates from 70 to 700 pounds and can be mixed and matched to fine tune your racerâ¦between $5 and $20 each. The only real drawback here is the lack of adjustable compression and rebound rates available in all-out racing shocks. ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
