Default Strange 10 way settings

Hey all,

For any of you that have any experience with strange struts and shocks, where do you have them set? I want to have better handling without losing all comfort, any suggestions on a setting?

Thanks

Honestly...its all about trial and error....start them at 5 and work up on down from there To fit your comfort. I used them for drag racing spo my old settings wont help u

Yea, I have mine set for the strip. Putting the fronts at 1 and the rears at 6 really isn't going to work for you like it does for me. Like said, start at 5 and adjust from there.

The four I had on my DD clunked, banged, and "squished" so badly (for the record this was 3+ years ago when I think they were a "newer" product for them) that I "set" them in a box and sold 'em on eBay...

I have heard similar things about them as what Cliffy said. Army, how are yours in terms of noise and such? I really would like to get some, but the idea of loud suspension turns me away from them.

I will repeat FWIW that mine were close to a "first run" for the product--if they have improved that would be cool as the price is very attractive...

The price is why I am interested in them, but I am also a big fan of you pay for what you get!

I have been checking reviews via google and it seems to be mixed, and I could not find any solid info that was new.

Please keep us informed on how you like them!

They haven't changed much, cliff. I you want a descent budget adjustable shock that has some good capability at the strip, these are for you, but I did say the word budget. It's budget for a reason.
