Default What are you using up front? shocks/struts...90/10??

Well its about time that I do a little more work to the suspension...What are you guys using for drag shocks or struts up front? Competition eng. makes a 90/10 strut for 82-92 cars but dont have one available for our cars yet. Im not sure if 82-92 struts will work with our cars?? I was looking at HALs since they are adjustable but not a true 90/10 as far as I know...90/10 may be more than I need so it would be nice to have an adjustable setup. Lookin for ideas. TIA

Hals front and back with Hal front drag springs. Pretty nice setup for adjustments at track.

I use the stock shocks and springs in front and rear of my 98.

Hey, it works.

I havent seen a good (E.T.) return on the high cost of shocks/springs as of yet. That stuff is not cheap.

I had a bent/warped front shock, needed to lower the front end, and could use as much traction as possible because of slippery track.

They are so high I don't know if I would have ever bought them just for a little bit of added traction.

But they are sweet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
