Singles will work on a budget but if you can afford the doubles it will give you more tuning options for the track

Is your car auto or 6 speed? Auto cars can get away with single adjustable shocks for a good bit more than a 6 speed car. Stick cars hit the drivetrain much harder and will really benefit from a double adjustable shock. More adjustable is always better, but a budget auto can get away with a single adjustable shock

There is never a reason to not purchase double adjustable shocks. Can you make singles work? Sure we have done it for years when that was the most affordable option but like others have mentioned you can never have to much adjustment.

As for Strange great shock and great product, been using their shocks/struts on my own personal vehicles for many many years. However for the cost difference you can purchase Viking double adjustable for a similar price.

Smooth Body Rear double adjustable pricing from Viking.

Strange Single adjustable rear pricing.

Price follows if you decide to go coil over.
