    I am going to change shocks soon, street /strip combo, any suggestions? I'm thinking of some brand of 90/10 drags up frt and maybe something externally adjustable in the back. Any track experience will be welcomed.
    Thanks, Steve

    i've used both the competition engineering and the summit brand 3 way shocks. didn't see much difference in either. also use the cheapest stock shock in the rear. :)

    I agree with Don. The 3 way adjustable shocks are the best if you are going to tune the suspension. Otherwise there are always the 90/10's. Having said that...if you want to try a cheap set, I've got a pair that I just took off my car (Lakewoods) to put on 3 way adjustable ones. I'd let them go for $20 plus shipping for the pair. Please drop me a line if you're interested.

    How do 90/10s ride on the street?
    Does it make driving a challenge?

    I have run 90/10s for years, After you get used to them they are just like any other shock.
