adjustable shocks??
I'm looking for a shock/strut that I can adjust from say as stiff as stock but then my softer or launching that car from a stop. I read a little up on KYB AGXs but they seem to just go from as stiff as stock to stiffer. Any other setup other there that I can adjust easy? Competition C 2700??

About the only way to get less "stiff" than "stock", is to take the shocks completely off.
What does the car do wrong, that you are thinking you can fix with shocks that aren't as "stiff" as "stock"?

Sounds like your standards for "stiff" are pretty low, if "stock" seems "stiff" to you...

Well, I'm running KYB GR2s in the car now. KYB says they are 10-15% firmer then factory. The car handles well with them. What you didn't follow is I'm looking for something that I can adjust from a firm ride to a setup also I can adjust that will transfer weight for a drag launch. So what the car does wrong is melt my drag radials and not even think about hooking.
