Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some adjustable struts for a street strip car. I'm looking at something i can loosen up at the strip for a little weight transfer and stiffen up again for normal street driving. Price isn't an issue if there is something that works good for both worlds. Car is a 90" GT with H/C/I. Best 60ft is 1.88 on racemasters. Other than that it just blows the tires loose... Thanks guys

QA-1s are about the best you can get but Strange Engineering makes a nice adjustable also that's reasonably priced and has the adjustments you're looking for. Here's a link.

Yes I agree with what you pay for strange adjustables no need to buy lakewood drag only struts and shocks.

How would these struts handle when regular wide street tires are installed? My car is basically set up do a little of everything and i don't want to sacrafice driving twisty roads for total strip performance. Anything that goes looser than kyb gas adjust's will work. I don't want something that's geared to one extreme or the other. I'll give up some straight line performance to keep the car fun on the street. Likewise i'll give up cornering on rails handling for something that can actually transfer a little weight when i drag it. Isn't the strange strut more of a drag only item? What about the Tokico Ilumina? is that more of a street /twisties strut?

The Strange is not a drag race only item. You can firm them up so that your fillings will rattle out of your molars if you want. They will perform at both extremes.
