[QUOTE="2003oxfordCobra, post: 16580872, member: 172569"] Blkkbgt, thank you for your feedback. I honestly was under the impression that strange 10 ways were ajustable for compression and not rebound. You were right that they adjust for rebound, only. This kind of changes my toughts, as these struts are primarily designed for drag racing and you want the weight of the car to transfer to the rear wheels quite rapidly so they can "dig in". Once the rear wheels have enough weight on them, you want that weight to stay somewhat constant for the duration of you run, so you really don't need adjustability in the compression. At least, not as much so as compared to road racing or autoX, where the weight transfer and compression loads shift dynamically throughout the run. Maybe my best option at this point is to put my old setup back on and introduce rubber bushings back into the equation. My old setup was: factory bilstiens, H&R SS springs, stock A-arms, UPR K-member, stock upper strut mounts, MM bump steer kit. (I bought camber bolts so I can dial in the alignment without the need for camber adjustability in the CC plates). I really think having rubber bushings provided the ride quality i have been lacking here on these roads. [/QUOTE]
