Default Comp engineering for the street?

Hi, I don't want to sound like i'm a noob, but I was wondering if the comp engineering drag shocks are streetable. I am on a budget, and anything is better than my 109K mile stock decarbons.

Are they fairly streetable?

Hello
The comp shocks are ok! What it comes down to is how much does the vehicle see the track. If its a handful of times a year and more of a street car then I would go with the 50/50's. If it sees the track every other weekend then I would go with the 70/30 for maximum weight transfer. What the ratios mean is when the car launches 70% of the vehicles weight transfers over the rear. And then it will rebound 30% leaving 40% of the weight over the axle for maximum traction performance. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

I run the Comps at the 50/50 setting and they are fine on the street.

I run mine at 70/30 on the street. It ain't bad but it's not a daily driver.

Okay, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy these, but before I pull the trigger, anyone knows who has the best price?
