Default Comp Engineering Rear Drag Shocks

Hey guys. I've been trying to round up a list of parts to buy to help control the 4000 stall converter I'm planning on getting soon, and I've seen guys get good results with the Rear Adjustable Comp Drag Shocks. I know that you can get them for our cars, but the closest thing I can get to a part number is C2700. I was wondering if anyone here runs these shocks.

I know that this topic is bound to draw some "Why don't you get the QA1's?" questions. I can't afford them right now, 'cause I'm on a strict budget. I want to go with something that I know will work.

So, anyone that uses these shocks, how well do they work? Are they streetable? Are there any issues with running them on the street since they are "Drag Only"?

Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Allen

I use them on my daily driver. Set at 50/50 with stock shocks/springs up front. No problems whatsoever. I cut 1.4x 60fts at the track as well.
