Results after Koni 90/10 adjustable drag struts intalled

I finally got my Koni 90/10 adjustable drag struts intalled. I'm very happy with them, I had my best 60' time(1.71) and got the front wheels off the ground for the first time. I know there is still room for improvement on the 60' time, I still need some fresh tires and air bags. They are very easy to adjust, all you have to do is turn the adjustment **** on top of the strut. The car feels very stable with them, even on the street.
I had Lakewood 70/30 struts before and when I removed them I found that one was bad already. You can feel the difference between the two by pushing on them by hand one wants to push back and stay extended while the other doesn't. They had only been on the car about 2 years with very little mileage. My car had been pulling to the right during hard launches and I didn't know why. That problem went away after the Koni's were installed so it must have been the bad strut causing it.

My 60' times before were normally in the 1.80 range or worse.
