CE adjustable drag shocks
i'm about to install a set of CE adjustable shocks, what would be a good setting for them, on a drag only car? i'm running air bags too. would it be best to set up both shocks the same or not? thanks

Start with a 50/50 setting. This will work best with a moderate track. If the track is very good and the tires are getting a good bite then change them to 70/30

Since you're running air bags I would set both shocks the same and use the air bag pressure to make fine tuning adjustments.
Set them on 50/50

My CE shocks are set at the 50/50 setting and I haven't had any wheel hop, on the street or the track.
