i love my strange a little more drag oriented but when you crank it up to 10 it is pretty good for auto cross. Five all around for street, and 8 rear and 2or 3 front for drag racing. :pimp2:

i kinda new when it comes to suspension but why would fox struts and sn shocks be the preferred setup? oh and how would you guys rate koni yellows?

so the fox struts are shorter, so they would be better for lower cars. that makes sense but would it really be that bad just to put sn struts and shocks all the way around?

Fox Body shock's? Or like Fox offroad racing shock's?

There's no reason not to use Fox body shocks, as far as I know those are the same.

I only know to ask for Fox struts, I wasn't aware anyone was differentiating in the rear.

I have strange 10 ways...i got the ones for my car, and am lowered with sportlines. I dont know what it is but they are too noisy for me.

Im sending them back and getting the kyb agx struts for a fox I guess.

I dont think I hear the shocks in the back...but maybe I should just replace all of them while im at it.

What do you guys think?

Should I just replace the struts?

I dont think I can hear the shocks.

its not even that I care so much...its other people who ride in the car and ask what the noise is, its emabarasing.

I dont want my brand new suspension to sound like a clunking POS.
