Designed to control weight transfer on the launch, Moroso 26306 lets you dial in extension and compression damping at the track to find the tune that gets your car off the line hardest. This is a competition shock built for strip use, and it is sold as a single unit.

Adjustment Settings for Moroso 26306
Moroso 26306 features three indexed damping positions that let you tune weight transfer characteristics at the strip. All ratios represent extension to compression damping:
| Setting | Code | Extension | Compression | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular | R | 60% | 40% | Baseline tune, lighter vehicles or high-traction surfaces |
| Firm | F | 80% | 20% | Moderate front end rise control |
| Extra Firm | XF | 90% | 10% | Maximum front end control, heavy power applications |
How to Adjust Moroso 26306
Adjusting Moroso 26306 requires no special tools and can be done at the track between rounds. Compress the shock fully, then rotate the shaft clockwise until the indexing notch clicks into the desired setting position on the shock body. The indexed detents ensure the setting stays locked through the run.

Why Drag Shocks Matter at the Strip
On a drag car, front shock valving directly influences how aggressively the front end rises under power. Too much compression resistance holds the nose down and hurts rear traction on the launch. Too little and the car pitches violently and breaks traction. Moroso 26306 gives you a tunable range so you can dial in the front end behavior that matches your power level, track conditions, and tire combination. Running 26306 on a properly prepped 1960s Mustang platform gives you the control that fixed-rate shocks simply cannot provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What years and models does Moroso 26306 fit?
Moroso 26306 fits the 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1970 Ford Mustang at the front position in drag racing applications.
Is Moroso 26306 a street shock?
No. Moroso 26306 is a competition drag racing shock designed for strip use only. It is not engineered or intended for street driving. Using it on public roads is not recommended.
Is Moroso 26306 sold as a pair or each?
Moroso 26306 is sold as each, meaning one shock per listing. If you need two front shocks, you will need to purchase two units.
How do I adjust Moroso 26306?
Compress the shock fully, then rotate the shaft clockwise until the indexing notch clicks into the R (Regular), F (Firm), or XF (Extra Firm) position on the shock body. No tools required. The indexed detent holds the setting securely.
What is the difference between the R, F, and XF settings on 26306?
The R setting provides a 60/40 extension to compression ratio for a baseline tune. The F setting moves to 80/20 for firmer front end control. The XF setting goes to 90/10 for maximum front end rise control in high-power applications.
Which setting should I start with on Moroso 26306?
Most racers start with the R (Regular) setting as a baseline and adjust from there based on how the car launches. If the front end rises too aggressively, move to F or XF to increase extension resistance and control the nose.
Who manufactured Moroso 26306?
Moroso 26306 is a Competition Engineering design that came under the Moroso brand after Moroso acquired Competition Engineering. The underlying engineering and design are the same proven race parts.
Do I need a professional installer to fit Moroso 26306?
Shock replacement on a classic Mustang is within the range of an experienced home builder with proper equipment and safety stands. However, any suspension work on a competition vehicle should be verified before the car goes down track to confirm all fasteners are torqued correctly.
Does Moroso 26306 require a Prop 65 warning?
Yes. California Residents: WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including those known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
