i got them on my Iroc z and they are awesome

i also have them workin with the Eibach pro kit springs

they seem to be ok together although i think a different spring rate or something would be best. or maybe a bit different settings on the shocks cuz there seems to be a slight mismatch on settings. Maybe and probly, its just me trying to find a perfect setting between soft ride and hard handling, which there really isnt one

for street use, or MY street use i put the fronts on 3 and the rears on 3

seems to work really well for handling. too much hard settin on the rear made me oversteer... too little makes it feel a bit too much roll and felt sloppy. 3 is good. with more suspension components and larger tires with good meats, you can easily see 4 on the rear for ultimate stiff handling

at the strip and on the street, i so far used rear at 3 or 4 and the fronts at 1, the lightest setting... i am gonna try lighter rear to see if that helps any. sure felt like it launched hard this way. i have been told, lightest front and stiffer rear for drag

the shocks have a adjuster tab on top, that you turn with screwdriver... its really simple and can do it on the fly. just stop and twist, no takin the shock off, or anything... i like them so far, definately a great mod and great shock/strut
