70-81 Camaro/Firebird

The Competition Engineering 70-81 Camaro/Firebird rear drag shock is purpose-built for enthusiasts who demand precision handling and consistent performance during high-load driving scenarios. Whether you're upgrading a classic muscle car suspension or fine-tuning an existing drag setup, this monotube shock absorber delivers the adjustability and durability required for serious street or competition use. Designed specifically for second-generation F-body platforms, it addresses the suspension geometry and weight transfer characteristics unique to these iconic American performance cars.

This shock features a monotube design with a 1.63-inch outer diameter and steel construction finished in durable gray paint, engineered to handle the rigors of drag racing and high-performance driving. The unit compresses to 13.21 inches and extends fully to 22.43 inches, providing optimal travel range for rear axle control during hard acceleration, braking, and cornering. Three-way adjustability allows tuning of damping characteristics to match your specific weight distribution, tire choice, and track conditions—critical for maximizing traction and minimizing wheel hop during launch.

Mechanics and performance builders favor Competition Engineering shocks for their reliability and repeatability across thousands of drag passes. This rear unit is sold individually, so a complete upgrade requires two units. Installation is straightforward on factory or modified F-body mounts, making it ideal for both restoration projects and serious street/strip builds. Pair with front drag shocks for a complete suspension package that keeps weight transfer predictable and axle wrap under control.
