Default So I drove the stang a little bit today...

with the new Strange 10 way struts (one of the rearshocks were broken, but the new one should be here on Monday). I'm currently running the stock rear shocks right now until the new one comes in. But anyways, I didn't feel much of a difference from stock with only the struts. Is the big difference going to happen after I install the rear strangeshocks? Maybe it didn't help any that I was driving around on the dirt roads. Anyways, lemme know what youguys think.

Did you try fooling w/ the adjustments to see. Hard take offs, hard stops, things like that too.

Can't do hard take offs on the dirt, anything over like 1/16 throttle busts the tires loose lol.Same thing with hard stops. I guess I'll just have to installmy rears onMonday and go for a cruise. I wasn't expection a huge change with just the struts. I think it'll be really noticable once I get the rears in, the anticipation is killing me though!

I'm sure that I could've felt a difference if Icould've driven it on the black top. I'll let youguys know on Monday or Tuesday I suppose. For the first drive I'm going to leave it on the drag settings and try some launches and seeif it makes any difference on street tires. I can't wait till I get my subframes and drag radials.
