Default Who has Competition Engineering 3 way shocks

I just seen the other thread in this section about these shocks (I didn't want to hijack that thread since it was a tech question). I wanted to know how these perform and if everyone is happy with them. I am going to be adding some adjustable (rear) shocks this winter as well has moving the battery to the rear.

I have used them for a couple of years now, and had good success. You really cant beat them for the price. If you have the money for some Afco/Strange get them, but there are guys on hear that go 1.4 or lower 60 ft on the comp eng.

1.4 60' is the best I can hope for with my set-up. I would like to have DAs but $350 each is outragous. I was going to go with Strange SAs then I found these and figured if they worked for alot of people I would try them

I sell a ton of these things - for the price, they can't be beat. Went to a 1.29 60' on the back of our shop car!

The Summit Racing "house brand" of shocks are killer buys for the buck too. They don't list a 4th gen however the 3rd gens fit great. $26 a shock, pretty tough to beat.

I have them in the rear on a stock spring. I just picked up stange spring/shock combo for front so i will have to see if its any better. I am very happy with the comp engineering.
