I have had Strange on two cars. Bilsteins are quieter on the street. My old roomie had Lakewood 90/10s. They were quiet on the street, but were very very soft in turns. I've also had Tokicos RB3026 drag struts and factory 03 Cobra Bilsteins. The drag series Bilsteins have been the best balance of performance, zero noise, and streetability of any package I have tried to date.

Thanks for reporting back, going to order some for my car.

Can you measure the tube diameter, I need to know if these are the same 2" dia as the factory 03-04 bilsteins? I have MM coilovers and dont want to change them if i dont have too.

Those bilsteins are for a SRA correct? I think someone mentioned that already. I can't find one for a Bilstein drag shock for the rear. Anyone know if they make it? I'm going to look into those adjustable viking shocks too.

I can, but you may get quicker results directly from Bilstein. I am busy with other cars that will be racing in the GT500/Terminator Shootout in Bowling Green in less than a week.

Back in the day we would use solid axle shocks on IRS. Turn the shock 90 degrees at the lower control arm and shim out with 3/4" washers.

Bump, ran again with these and 275 Pros last night. Dead hooking every time, and work terrific on the street. No adjustments, they just work.
