Default looking at Strange springs & shocks

anyone have any insight into springs and shocks from Strange Engineering?

specifically, looking at their single adjustable shocks and the springs that they say are needed for these shocks.

and also, what would the ride height be, with those springs? i'm in NJ, roads here suck. the most lowering i'd be able to deal with is 1/2 inch without destroying the chassis on these damn potholes.

so, to summarize:
anyone knows what sort of quality to expect from these shocks and springs? ride height? comfort level with the shocks, i guess, will be adjustable..correct me if i'm wrong.

any insight.

the car is pretty much a pure street car.

They are drag shocks. Most people here have konis which are not. Y do u want the stange setup. Drag racing. Most go with QA1. Want do you want the car to do??

ah, not for me then.
the car is purely a street car, i rarely get the time to get out to the track.
its just time to change my shocks, so am trying to research available options.
koni, while very nice, i think is a bit of an overkill

I've got the QA1 adjustables. They are mainly for drag cars. I would not put them on a full time street car.
