My setup is QA1 K member and A-arms, upr coilover kit with 14" 175lbs spring, MM CC plates and 99-04 strange 10 way struts. I just installed fox body strange 10 way shocks out back last week. My passenger side strut sprung a leak and it pissin oil all over my brake caliper and coilover and wheel. Now when I go over bumps with the passenger side the steering wheel shimmys violently and the car wants to move all over the road. The strut is def blown. I love the way strange struts perform but damn they are so annoying when pair up with CC plates. People say its the coil over kit making noise but I had this "clunk" noise before the CO kit with just CC plates. I have also heard of going with fox body struts when lowered because they are shorter and wont bottom out (causing leaks). Should I suck it up and go with the fox body struts strange, or should I switch companies and go with another brand that wont give me a headache? I love the adjustability of going from a 90/10 style strut for drag to a hard cornering setting when put on number 10.

I'm happy with the KYB AGX's

Are they good for drag racing? Running coil overs with them?

I think since Im not going to get away from the "strange clank" due to my recent installed rear shocks I mind as well go with the front struts again for the fox body because although they make tons of noise paired with CC plates, i heard it is rare for them to leak, they are amazing struts because I can get that lakewood 90/10 feel on "1" and turn the dial to "9-10" and get that bilstein stiffness.

I ran Strange 10 ways front and rear...and the fronts drove me crazy enough that I took them off a few weeks after I put them on...Im running Tokico 5-way drag struts and Mach/Bullitt Tokicos in the rear now...no noise and no problems... I drag the car too..

^+1, I bought a set of Strange shocks--they should have come with a tube of K-Y, or at least Vaseline--worst damned shock I ever owned...

When you say tokico drag struts. You mean illuminas?
