Who here runs the strange front (drag only) shocks on their street driven car? I’m looking to swap over my shocks this off winter with the hopes of helping my street launches but can adjust for the track as well. Will be running a 250# spring.

I'm looking into buying the same ones. I've talked with strange and they said they recommended a 100-125lb spring because they take a 16" spring. but they highly recommended scaling it before making a decision which is what I intend to do.

they can't be any worse than a set of 90/10s...so I say go for it

I was thinking of going with a 250 spring since no one here scales. I know a few manufacturers just put the 250 on.

first thing I'm gonna do when I get mine back the middle of next month is scale it. so if you can wait that long I'll let you know what front springs I went with... just hate for someone to buy twice.

Bmr how does it feel if street driving?

The car is not Street Driven. The other thing about the Strange Coilovers they are the COPO set-up and they don't have the provision to attach a Front Swaybar

Trob85 · 07-29-2018, 09:11 AM

Yea I don’t have a front sway bar anyway so I would be ok with that.

unfortunately not. I never got around to scaling it before stripping it. I was too worried about the sub par fab work that was done on the car.

Ok we’ll keep me posted when you can.
