double adjustable front shocks

im at the point where id probably benefit front a good set of double adjustable front shocks. ive run a best of 9.54 @ 141mph(hoping for really high 8s this year). ive been looking into a good set of double adjustable front shocks. ive been running lakewood 90/10s with racecraft coil over kit. are santhuffs the best or is there something more affordable out there any help would be great.

Re: double adjustable front shocks

as expensive as they are, santhuffs still arent the most expensive. lol

but they are fantastic. the main thing for me is simply controlling the extension slow enough to keep the front down while still being able to use your available travel. being able to do that means you can extend the amount of time you are transferring weight. with a shock thats too fast you are forced to use limiters, and your front end can only help with weight transfer briefly and might only have 3" of extension available.

Re: double adjustable front shocks

I only run high 9s but I switched from 90/10s to qa1 dbl adj coilovers.

The front end is much tighter and less bouncy touching down. Work fine for me...almost bought santuffs but couldn't afford the extra cost quite yet.
