Adjustables are a real good way to get into trouble, IMHO........
There is no such thing as a 'street/strip' shock that really works......

Strange 10 way adjustables is the best way to go.

same here, I could care less about driveability, I'm trying to find a shock that does good on the street and in a straight line.

I just got my set of strange 10 ways from summit two days ago. Im installing this weekend so Ill let you know how it goes! Im also installing a MM panhard bar so it might be hard to tell whats doing what because I heard that the panhard bar might cause some driveability issues. Next suspension install is strange 10 way struts, D&D k member, D&D a arms, D&D front coil over kit [&:] should be a fun day!
