Has anyone ever ran these and what was your opinion of them? Are they better than Tanner or ARS shocks?

I have been involved in quarter midgets for twelve years. I have seen many people trying to gain a competitive edge by going out on a limb with an untested preformance brand. Most of the time they often do not work or the company that is new to quarter midgets does not follow through and leave costomers standed. With ARS's or Kelly Tanner's products you know you are getting a quality product from a vendor who is in quarter midgets for the long run. I personally have had excellent relations with Corey from ARS. We have won three grands, four states races, and many features with ARS and I would recomend them over any other brand. If you have any other questions I would be happy to help.

I have seen afco shocks on Tom Fitz's car. He would be a good person to ask.

I ran the tanner G2's on my 160 and was a top 5 car every week and put a set of ARS's on and car and was a rocket got threw the center of the cornor so much better.

I ran Quarter midgets for 10 years. I have run both tanner shocks and ARS and here is my point of view on either of them...

If you are willing to spend a couple 100$ per shock and want an awesome product with good ride(like you're on a cloud) I would suggest ARS. Once we put them on our car we never took them off and use them in Micros still. If you don't want to spend too much money on shocks go with Tanners. Very good shocks for the money you spend and are a good starter shock for sure(If you are a starter).

I agree with Rick completely when he says you are getting a quality product from both suppliers. I guess you could say my opinion is biased because I have run with ARS for so long :p .

Good Luck:D
