A lot of people use the Comp shocks on their cars and being they are a drag racing oriented part, you can be assured they will change the ride, but the ride quality is dependent on one's own opinion. What exactly are you trying to do with the car?

I have personally used them on quite a few projects with a good bit of success. I have personally cut 1.35-1.36 60fts using them and they are cheaper alternative to the QA1, Strange, or AFCOs. They ride good on the street for a drag shock but are more of a pain to adjust then the better more expensive shocks. Generally for most people I reccomend the Strange shocks because they hold up well and there customer service is second to none and adjusting them on the fly is easy. It really comes down to what you are going to be doing with the car and how serious it is going to be.

If your car is a M6 dont waste your money on that junk. My stock shocks worked much better. Now I have Madman AFCO DAs out back and Strange DAs upfront. Seem to be light yrs better on the Street.

I have a T56 car and use the cheaper Summit drag shock. Very similiar to the comp engineering ones. I have mine set to 50/50 and the rear end hardly squats. Over big bumps the car will be very stiff and your kidney's will feel the jolt, haha. The shocks combined with the rest of suspension have been great for hooking up the street.
