That adjustment is no problem, small flashlight through the wheel and you can see the numbers easy. On the the rear shocks (rebound I think) you have to do with an allen wrench through the top stud and it has no markings. 1 turn is the full adjustment range and its touchy. Not that you have to adjust it a lot but its a goofy way to do it

I wouldn't spend the money on Afcos if I wanted to drive them on the street much. I would probably go with the Strange.just my opinion

For a drag car...Afco's all the way...don't settle for anything less
