I know they make differential parts, but that's all I've ever seen

They are waaaaaay more than what you need. They are meant for really dialing track cars when you know what you're doing.

I was just wondering about them. They would only be $80 more total than the Tokico Blues I was about to order. Are the Blues good for drag and/or twisty tracks?

Just found a rear end that cost 20k up there...


But back on subject, would it be worth that extra $80 to have those or just get some tokicos?

Ryan, try answering the guys question instead of being a dick.

sIx, the answer to your question is how much is $80 to you? You won't see much difference on the street between the strange and the Tokicos, but the Strange ones are better. If you a making enough money where you won't really notice the extra $80 then spend it. If you are on a tight budget then I wouldn't bother. It really is a matter of perspective.

Also another thing to note is that if you aren't sure how to dial in the shocks the Strange ones can give you some real headaches.

sIx the tokico blues will do just fine for what your want like the dick ryan said lol. Keep that 80 bux and use it on/towards something else.
