Guys,

I autocross about every other weekend and I am constantly improving. I noticed I have a rear shock that started leaking so it needs to be replaced. OEM is about $200. I don't mind paying a little more and just replacing the whole set with Koni yellows. (or should I just replace with OEM until I can save up enough to get a better set)

Now I can't afford Penske or Moton, but would it be more beneficial to go ahead and get them custom valved and/or dual adjustable. I am by no means good enough to know how to set the car up. I can run in the top 10 in my region and we have some fairly good competition. What would be best for my situation:

Replace leaking shock with OEM and save up for better shocks later
Get off the shelf Koni yellow (send the to be custom valved later)
Get custom valved Koni yellow
Get Dual adjustable custom valved koni yellow
Other brand shock???

Any feedback will greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: DA Konis might be a lot more than I want to spend ($3k)
Also I have a Gendron FSB (hollow)
I run RE-01Rs

 

OEM and save up.

 

You are already beating guys on R comps with a blown shock.... I'd probably go for a OEM shock 1st, then save for more tires that aren't Riken Raptors
