They do ok, a bit noisy. Honestly if I did it again, I'd get 90/10's up front and save my money for the rear and do a set of coilovers with double adjustables. Yea, atco's pretty nice. I've managed 1.95 60's and 8.67 on stock suspension other than the strange's and on a set of Nitto DR's. Now I have UPR pro series UCA/LCA's, Steeda subframes, a Baseline ARB, and I just ordered M/T's and an MSD 2-step today. If I can knock 2 tenths of the short time it should fly.

Nice!

Ya thats the concern I heard about the strange 10 ways, the noise. I'm planning on running fox 4cyl springs up front so I figured that having the adjustable struts will let me set it a bit firmer for the street compared to just having 90/10's.

But if thats the case I guess i'll just go ahead with the 90/10's and **** the world lol

Well there's plenty of other adjustable struts out there. I've heard decent things about Tokico's, I think the D-specs are adjustable and a bit more suited for drag racing. But if racing is your main concern and your on a budget like me, 90/10's are a more affordable route.
