I got a set for my DD works great and still provides a comfortable ride for me atleast.

got em put on today and the ride is almost identical to the stock shocks i had on it.

do they have to break in before you notice the difference in weight transfer or will i even notice it at all??

did you only buy rears?

did you only buy rears?

yeah

i have 4 cyl. struts on the front

So she pretty much handles like a boat!

You mite notice a little tiny bit in the ride, but thats about it.

Probably because they ARE almost identical - the stockers are "50/50"s.

stock ratio is 50/50 you need some front end stuff to get the transfer action

 

[90five0oh]

well i thought the stockers were 70/30. guess i was wrong. and no it actually handles pretty well on the street. its not like i road race or anything. i tryin to get the weight transfer for the track

i thought that since the four cyl. struts were weaker it would help the front end come up while the drag shocks help it squat. is this completely wrong?

 

[PUNISHER RACING]

Stock parts are 50/50 a 70/30 or 90/10 strut will push up with 70/90 percent of its force and nose real easy. If you want drag strip transfer on the cheap leave your rear as is and throw in a set of 70/30 f. struts and a set of Moroso trick front springs. That will prolly get you the transfer your looking for at the strip also when at the track ditch the front sway bar.

well i just thought of this too. my car has b springs on it so thats pribly some of my problem. but it does fairly well. i notice the hood raise a tad more than usual so im happy with it

 

[PUNISHER RACING]

lowering springs work well as drag springs

 

[90five0oh]

well i figured the lower center of gravity would keep it from transferring as much as it should.

and i have another question. if the stockers are 50/50 like the ones i jus bought then why would they advertise them like that sayin they are drag shocks?

whats the differnece?
