drag struts and shocks
what drag struts and shocks work the best?

Competition Engineering has a 3 way adjustable rear shock. I use these on my car. They have 30/70, 40/60, and 50/50 settings They also make a strut too, but I'm still using the stock struts on my car. The strut is a 90/10. The prices are fair, but, Lakewood makes a less expensive strut for our cars as well. Getting into the Konis will cost you some money. I would imagine they all work well. Never really heard any complaints. BTW, Welcome to TGO. We are practically neighbors.

I use Koni SPA1 on the front and rear. When my 4-link goes in, I'll have some Competition Engineering coliovers on the rear.

Do you want externally adjustable shocks or do you want to remove the shocks each time when an adjustment is needed?

Personally, I hate 90/10 struts. The front of the car takes longer to drop back down, if it every fully does in a pass. This means unusual amounts of airflow under the car. Good back shocks are deffinitely a good thing, I fully agree on adjustables, my new chassis will have QA1 coil-overs.
