Default SA or DA Strange rear shocks?

I'm about to buy a set and wanted to know which shock is better for me. Right know I have old KYB 8 way adjustables on the rear and I know they are killing my 60'. Which of these 2 shocks would benefit me the most at the track and why. What are the 2 adjustments for on the double adjustables and how do I tune them at the track? I am really trying to focus on my suspension this winter so I can hopefully cut some low 1.4x 60's instead of the mid 1.5x's the car gets right now. Thanks for the help

Doubles are what I recommend for the rear.

If you can afford it double adjustable is the way to go.

Thanks Madman, what do you recommend as a starting point for adjustments and based on how the car is launching how would you fine tune? Also should I run your lower shock mount? Thanks alot for the help

You definitely need the lower shock mounts. Start the shocks at halfway on both settings.
