ok im looking in getting new shocks and struts. I know everyone says Koni, but they are the highest in price, found a good deal on some strange adjustable that im curious about as well. my question is if i go to the strip like 2-3 times a year are adjustable shock and struts really worth the extra cost, or can i get away just fine with say something like Koni oranges?

They are worth if you daily drive the vehicle and plan on track racing it as well. They are more a means of daily driving comfort with performance capability at the track. Kind of a best of both worlds situation. Really just depends on if you can justify spending the extra money. I'm hitting the strip and the track this weekend, I'll give you an update of my opinion after the races.

EDIT: I have Koni Yellows BTW.

If you said it's a street car that will see the roadrace track 2-3 times a year, I'd tell you to go with the Konis. But since it's a street car that will see the strip 2-3 times a year, the Strange 10-ways are a good choice!

ok on the strange, are those more of a strip shock and strut, or are they all around

Strange is most known for their drag racing parts... IMO I would go with the Koni's while they are on sale. They are cheaper than the D-Specs and they have a great warranty and are known handling shocks/struts. Will it be noticeable? I bet it would be!

I run Koni orange on my DD. I don't think you can go wrong with either of the Koni's. I have heard the orange is the same as the yellows set to full soft.

looks like i have some decisions to make before i pull the trigger on a set, maybe i should just get the koni yellows you get what you pay for i guess

FWIW I have koni yellows on my cobra and they are awesome. The car is just street driven at the moment since I just bought it. I havent had a chance to explore their true potential but I doubt I will be disappointed.

I prefer "Buy once, cry once" Cry because of the price now, but be thankful you wont have to buy them after dropping the coin on a different set that didn't live up to the expectations!

Dampers are a pretty significant change. At least it was for me compared to the stock set up and it's not nearly as easy to change as other stuff is. Bars are easy to change, tires are relatively easy to change, heck, even a Watts link is easy to add or change in comparison to unbolting the front suspension (all of it) to change the shocks/struts. The less you have to do it the better IMO!
