Default Doetsch Tech Adjustable Shocks

Anyone hear of these? Look like a great alternative to Gas-a-justs and the ever pricey Edlebrocks.

I had Doetsch Tech shocks on my lifted Jeep probably 9 years ago. They are a pretty well known shock at least in the offroad arena. I know nothing of their performance in this application, but they are indeed a legit player.

I have actually been looking today at shock options and would prefer some adjustables. My rear KYB shocks do not provide enough resistance on the recovery so when I hit a bump the rear tries to buck. Bounced my head of the roof liner the other day going 65. I am very uneducated in 90/10 80/20 70/30 50/50 and what all that means or what is desirable in a performance car. At what setting would you run these at for a radical street/strip car?

I have no idea. I was hoping someone could tell us.

I do want to be able to adjust them though.

Urban, I'd think you'd want some Konis on your rig.

The adjustable ratios are jounce/rebound settings for the shocks. For a drag car you want a lot of weight transfer, so you want the jounce to be low but the rebound to be higher to keep the tires on the ground.
