depends on what you call "street friendly". Most "loose drag shocks" will take away some cornering ability, and may add a little more suspension travel, but since mine is a "toy" driven a few times a week, I don't mind whatever effects they might add (plus I have a full spool and manual steering as well, so not a corner-carver by any means!) If you are looking for something more street friendly, adjustable shocks are a little better due to the ability to tighten/loosen them for more predictable results. The offset is more expensive though. for the $200 I spent for 4 shocks, I'm happy. They didn't lower my 60 foots much over gas shocks (at the time I was running mid 12s), but they made hooking MUCH MORE CONSISTENT.
Hope this helps!

i have a buddy also w/ qa1 r series up front, and comp engineering's in the back w/ a 6 speed, i think i remember him consistantly running 1.6's and better. very streetable, he even drives his car to the track w/ the fronts on 1 and the back set to full drag, slick'd and skinnies.. it drives fine, floats a lil but its not that bad.
