Default Strange shocks.........which springs

I am going to replace my front shocks with strange single adj.

I don't know which spring rate I should get.

I do have decent weight removal in the front.

Battery relocation

cruise control delete

But, to complicate things I am installing a APS twin turbo kit in a couple of weeks


I am thinking with the weight of the turbo system, I am probable back to stock as far as weight on the front.


So, what spring rate should I get???

Though a bit higher priced, the double adjustable gives you the cabilility to adjusting not only rebound but compression. This allows you to tune your shocks for different variables.

It can help street manners since you can tune compression/rebound.

Overall, a 300lb spring works well. You also can consider fixed and variable rate springs too.

Give me a call if you need more help 724.478.5580. We fully support Strange Engineering products.

Good luck!
