Question Shocks

Im looking into getting a set of Strange Shocks front and rear. What i want to know is it worth the extra 100 dollars a shock for the double adj. ones. Also is there that big of a difference between Afco, Strange, and Q1a/Hal's? What combo's are you guys running and what are your 60ft looking like? along with the rest of your suspension set up.

Has anyone on here gone from single adj.s to double? What did you like or dislike. How much did your 60ft change?

Double adjustable fronts are more important than rears (I feel anyway)

Single adjustable fronts are bad in the sense that if you put them really loose for easy extension on the launch they have just as loose of a compression and can cause a bouncing effect.

The rears you could be ok with just setting the shock to a 50/50 ratio to get a solid launch.
