Maybe he means 'road racing'?
When I hear 'street racing' I think the illegal kind on streets.
Road racing is legal sport kind. :shrug:

I agree with the recommendations for the Strange Struts and Shocks.
As for the rear, on a manual trans car, I like the Viking Performance Double Adjustables. I have been having a lot of success with those on my customers cars. They work VERY well and are only $190/each.

Strange all the way around :rockon:
So the strange shocks and struts are better than koni yellows?
Yeah I wanna know this. Anyone driven both?
Konis are better for a road course strange are better for a launch .
Strange adjustables adjust both compression and rebound
Konis only adjust rebound. Koni yellows (aka koni sports) on the softest setting are the same thing as the str.t's if you are faithful to a 'brand'. Many people have had good 60 ft.s with steeda ultralites and str.t's ( down to 1.5x 60ft) however strange adjustables are a better recommendation.
Just depends what your goals are. I went with koni yellows and BMR lowering springs and love the setup but I'm only aiming for a 1.5 60ft which is do able with my setup
I have the koni yellows and steeda sports....how are you adjusting your yellows for launch? I have an Auto Paxton with a 2c Circle D TC, I should be good for 1.5 right?
my car likes to be soft all the way around; if you are having troubles with your launches look into control arms/relocation brackets you should be good for 1.5
Odd, I have never read this in any product description from Strange.
* Strange 10 Way Adjustable Strut
* 30 Minute Install
* Twin Tube Adjustable
* Sold Individually
* Black Finish
Externally adjustable Mustang shocks from Strange Engineering are designed to fit original-equipment applications, as well as most coil-over kits. These shocks are ideal for street/strip applications. They feature 10 performance-adjusting rebound settings, which are easily changed via an externally mounted adjuster. This allows you to make quick, easy tweaks to control your ride firmness and comfort level.
On edit, I bet he was referring to Strange double adjustable shocks. My initial recommendation was for Strange's cheapest line, which is what I bought for my auto car.

Agreed, it allows for a more accurate dial in. The auto car is more forgiving, allowing you to get by with cheaper shocks.
How do the QA1 single adjustables rank with the others mentioned?
I do not have recent experience on the S197 with QA1 single adjustables.
I can say, I have some VERY fast customers using their DA, though.
Thanks!
