Tube shocks on a model A are NOT for the average person. They require a lot of research and understanding on how they work and should be set up.
Tube shocks are the best thing you can put on a car if they are matched to the chassis FOR THE INTENDED USE.

Tube shocks have a bad rap for model A's because:
1 - People are unwilling to do the research.
2 - People are unwilling to spend the required money for race car shocks.
