So you guys noticed a decent difference with these shocks? Basically... are they worth the price/upgrade from just regular bilstein HD's (Which I am also looking at)

it depends on what you want your car to handle like. i have drag springs on mine so on turns it handles like crap but the whole deal with my car is i just want it to go fast in a straight line.

I am the exact same as you 99fbody. Just want straightline. But I dont want the springs, just the shocks, and as far as i know you can adjust the shocks were they will do pretty good for handling as well

How can the same shock work for the front and the rear at the strip since they react in opposite directions??
