Jerry, 50/50 is the ****. put em there and forget about em. mine drive great on the street and were good enough to pull a couple 1.5x 60's on a 255 radial.

Would there be any benefit for me to put these in the rear vs my new SLP Bilsteens with the new Eibach springs? Car is not lowered.

I just ordered the Comp shocks too. I was wondering what springs you guys are using though. I don't want to put my stockers for the meantime while I figure this out. So the sooner your info, the better

Man i was going to spend the money and get the Strange rear drag shocks but after reading this thread i think i am just going to go with the Comps for the rear and Strange for the fronts. Is there a tool required to change the setting or is it just a turn ****?

It depends on his setup. I sprayed my 00 with a 150 wet shot once and only gained a second. He might be spraying through the converter.
