I have no experience with these units but most things with the name "Strange" on them are pretty damn good.

The only problem with them is the non-adjustable body.

You should be chnaging spring length anyways, every "real" race shock i have ever dealt with sachs, koni, moton, etc. do not have adjustable bodies.

Strange Engineering makes the rear ends for the 9,000HP top fuel cars also.. that is how I came to know about them.

Innes and Ferguson should be able to give a little insight on the setup. I know they ran them on the hatch for a while but I dont know exactly how long

yep, still have the rears that i bought from you a couple of years ago still on the car and have been running the fronts for the last 3 years or so as well

they are a great setup, to really take advantage of them you really need to go into several test sessions of just adjusting the suspension settings to find the best setup for your particular car -- even though we played with the dampening a lot i am sure we still left a lot on the table with them due to not testing them as thoroughly as i feel is necessary

strange rear ends and suspension products have been nothing but good in all the domestics (fox bodies, f bodys, g bodys, etc... you name it) we have used their product in... currently my brothers slightly mod'd ( ) LSx powered ta runs thier 12 bolt, axles, spool, etc... and has yet to break it. It is behind a built th400 w/ a brake.

strange engineering...
