Default Competition Engineering Springs?

Does anyone know much about these? I have heard these are 3 way adjustable and are cheap?

I think JS had/has at least the rear ones. I just looked at their web site and it doesn't look like they're easily changed setting as you have to fully compress the shock then turn the shaft to the desired setting. That could be a pain to change on a hot surface in the pits.

I'll deal with a PITA if they will transfer weight a bit better then stockers and still handle on par with stockers on the firmer setting....

Hals are just too much money IMO....

FWIW I've ACTUALLT looked at a C/SA and D and Q S/A car with a LT1 and a LS1...

Wanna know what shocks were on the back of theses cars...I'll give u a hint...I have them on mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If u run a TQ arm longer than 45in u set the CE shocks on the loosest setting.If u run a short arm like a BMR or Spohn u set them on hard.

These are great shocks and with the Hal fronts/springs along with Jays new adj, rear sway bar my car will get a healthy does of susp tunning at the rent a track I'm having in the fall.
