Decent shock? Any decent shocks for under $500? (ei bilsteins, tokico).. How do these perform at the track (with eibach drag launch springs for example)? Not looking to dish out a grand for shocks at the moment, just looking for something that handles nice and isnt too shabby for the 1320

there isnt a middle of the road for f body's on shocks. Koni/qa1's and than all the cheapies. I do think the strange shocks could potentially fill that spot.
Or you could go with strano re valves? Think they would be right around 500.

The strange do adjust better tha the qa1. everyone Ive ever talked to has perfered them to qa1, including madman.
I used to have konis 4/4 with strano springs. That car handled very well, but not so good for weight transfer.
Honestly sounds like the Strange might be ok for the OP, but sounds like he might be better off just getting replacement stockers.

Well like I said, car will not be seeing track too often.. It will end up being more of a strip car than daily anyday. I have a daily, this one just sits. I just want something thats decently priced thats good at the track but isn't a pain in the *** ride on the street. Sounds like the strange shocks are perfect.. I can get them through a local shop here for $550 for all 4.
