I'm looking into buying a pair of Strange adjustable shocks and springs for the camaro and I'm not sure which ones to buy. Would the double adjustables be better for a 50/50 street/strip car or can I get by with the single adjustables. I have koni SAs on all four corners now and I'll be keeping the rears but I'm looking for front shocks that are a little more suited for the track.

single adjustables will do what you want and more but it will take you 4weeks plus to get them i am still waiting on my SA rear's. but i have the SA strange in the front set to 3 and helped alot.

Double adjustable will be far more versatile. It will give you more control for street and track driving. They are more expensive than single adjustable but worth it.
I can help with either setup. Our kits and options are listed at http://www.sjmmanufacturing.com/cam_sus_ls1.html

I am running Strange SA's up front, and they work well for me. If you can afford the DA's get them but for the majority of the people i believe the SA's will get the job done.

Ok I've decided on the Strange Double Adjustables but not sure which ones to get. Should I the regular DAs (Part # S5069) with the SPC300 springs? Or should I get the Drag shock DAs (Part # S5071)? Can anyone tell me what the difference between these two shocks is? Keep in mind this car is driven on the street alot.

Give me a call I'd be happy to discuss advantages of both types.

Just to update everyone. I just had Speed Inc. install a pair of DAs up front with 300lb springs and SAs in the rear. The car feels great and actually seems to ride just as well as when it had konis. I haven't had a chance to take the car to the track yet but I can already feel the difference in the way my car transfers weight. As for the differences between the DAs and SAs. The DAs simply have more adjustability. They have one adjuster that controls extension and another that controls compression where as the SAs just have an adjustment for compression I believe. As stated above, if you have the cash I would definately suggest going with the DAs.
