Ok so I am going to be lowering my car 1.5 inches. I would like to get an adjustable strut if the cost won't kill me. Where have you guys got them for cheap? Also if they are to damn expensive where can I get a good strut that will hold up to a lowered car, for cheap? Thanks guys

KYB through Summit seems resonably priced. I never heard of a direct replacement strut for lowered cars though.

 

what 350 crate motor did you get?

anyone else?????????

 

I have the Tokico adjustable shocks and struts, and they're great. I bought them from shox.com at a good price, everything they have is reasonably priced. They are 5 way adjustable and all 4 have little adjusting screws on top so that means you don't have to jack up the car to adjust them like you would have to do for most other rear shocks.

How much were the Tokico shocks from shox.com? Can you feel a difference between each setting? Is there a big difference in feel between the softest and stiffest settings? Thanks!

They cost about $500 shipped. There is a deffinate difference from 1 to 3, I haven't tried 4 or 5 on the street, just drag racing. At 1 the front likes to hover, and at 2 it is a good ride, 3 is pretty sporty.
