Well I'm either going to go with the Strange adjustable rears and the competition engineering adjustable front struts. Or I might just go with adjustable front and rear competition engineering shocks because the price difference. Either way it should make for a pretty potent launch (for just struts and shocks) along with a nice set of control arms. What do you guys think?

Alright, so I'll just save money and go with competition engineering in the front and back. I think that they are three way adjustable. I'll be running the 90/10 for the front setting and 50/50 when I'm racing on the street or when I'm at the track. I can't wait to get these shocks.

Yeah, I'll probably just leave it on 90/10 and 50/50 all the time knowing me lol. Is it going to launch a little better??? Are these shocks and struts (properly adjusted) worth a 60 ft./ ET drop?

I run strange all the way around as well. I haven't gotten to play with it much at the track but when adjusting them on the street you could definitly make a difference in handling.

Sweet. I can't wait to see how much of an E.T. drop I'm going to have since the last time I've been to the track. Does anyone know how much of an E.T. drop (even an educated estimate would be okay!) I can expect to see with these. I'm not getting good traction (as you can see in the video) and I hope that these will somewhat help with that.

Hell yeah, they've got three different adjustments for the front and 3 different adjustments for the rear, if you go with Strange shocks and struts, they've got 10 different adjustment levels. But I don't need that many so I'm opting for the cheaper (price wise) pair.
