Those are drag racing shocks. Do not get those if you are going to autox. They don't even come close to comparing to Konis on a road course

I thought I seen in one of their ad descriptions they had a set for handling and had some drag specific units as well. Oh well, never hurts to ask.

Ain't marketing wonderful? This are as close to "handling" shocks are 215 Pep Boys specials tires are to BFG drag radials for hooking.

Yup. 90% of what you read is bullshit and the other 10% is pure fabrication. Sometimes you just have to buy it and try it and see what works.
