I am thinking of going with them as well. Kens Kustom Chassis sells them, I was out there a few weeks ago to pick up my wheelie bars and they were telling me about them. They look like a good quality part. Strange has been around a long time in the V8 world, and make some serious racing parts.

We are using the Strange set-up in our new car. Parts look awsome.
Fabman will be installing it soon. Hope to post pix in the next few weeks.

Its good to see some more double adjustable shocks on the market for hondas.
I'm thinking about possibly picking a set up for my CRX. You guys have had these
for a few months now, so if anyone wants to post their opinion it would be
appreciated. Also, what are these selling for?

I installed them a few years ago on Gary Gardella's car. It was the first car with them. They work fine and are still on the car. We used the Ultra strut on his car. Just be careful when you install them to make sure there are no bump steer issues. I am also a distributor for strange if anyone is interested.

They're $1300 for the 92-95 civic. Not sure about other models. Plus, the maximum spring rate you can get is 850lb for the rear. Higher then that you have to order custom rates and it is very costly. It's a great set up for a car on wheelie bars but on a street car I think a standard single adjustable shock will work best for the money for most people out there.
