I wouldnt go adjustable in the back if you plan on dragging it dude Its very inconsistent at the dragstrip. Lakewood 50/50 in the back and u can buy KYB AGX,or Strange 10 Ways in the front.

90/10s are a great drag shock but not so great on the street

Happy with my Bilsteins. What springs do you have? You could e-mail MM and ask them which ones they suggest for your spring rate. Koni makes some nice adjustables IIRC.

Bilsteins don't come adjustable.

I run Bilsteins and H&R Super Sports. I am happy with the stance and ride quality. I do want to go coil-over eventually though. I have ridden in some cars with MM coil-overs and they were great.

I had adjustables in my GT and the adjustable part was cool at first but I ended up just picking one setting. MM recommended the Bilstein HD's for the H&R SS's.

ya i want to eventually go coil-over but need to do other things first. Ya i kinda figured that getting out of the car all the time to adjust would be a pain and i could end up not adjusting properly so MM is probably right on just getting a non-adjustable. So do you like your H&R SS? how much of a drop did it give you?
