ok its time for me to purchase new struts and i dont have any idea what to buy? Do the adjustable struts work as well as dedicated drag struts at the track? Can drag struts even be run on the street? Ive heard they are hard to handle but i allready have skinnies and no front swaybar. Help me out guys i dont wanna make a bad purchase.

get the adjustables. if you have no front sway bar and skinnies already, if you got a 90/10 strut youd never be able to turn. it would be like a boat. with adjusables you can set stiffer for the street and then loose for the track. i recomend the strange 10 way adjustables

i would suggest some lakewood 70/30's upfront...great all around...i love how it is on the street and performs awesome at the track...they r about 50 a peice, and as for the rear i have competition engineering 3 way adjustables...which are set at 50/50 and perform great on the street and strip...but if you feel like ever getting more aggressive on the rears you can adjust them...
