Rear drag shocks...

Are the competition engineering rear drag shocks a worthy investment? They are pretty cheap, and anything is better than the stockers I guess. Just dont have enough money for a set of Hal's right now.

Anyone have experience with these?

Rear shocks are just a tuning aid. There are a lot of very fast cars with factory shocks and they work well. I use Koni SPA1 rear shocks. I set them once and haven't touched them again. If I tryed using them for tuning, I might get a better 60' time but as long as I'm consistant, I leave them alone.

Shock settings depend on how the suspension works, how the car launches and the track condition. It's a trial and error method in tuning the shocks. I'd say just save your money and keep the factory shocks.
