Is anyone running the 3 way adjustable REAR Comp. Eng. Shocks? They adj 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50

Just wanted to see how much of an improvement these shocks would be over stock. I have full suspension minus rear shocks and subframe connectors.

also wanted to see who is running them currently, and if they are happy with them. They are very affordable, just saw them in jegs for 40 a piece.

Thanks in advance...

Depends on what you want. They're drag shocks. I'd bet they're the same as the 3rd gen models too.

 

Yes they are setup for 82-98 models ( not sure why it stops at 98 )
my car is setup for track use (straight line) I'm looking for something that is gonna help transfer weight/squat in the rear, over stock shocks. I was going to buy the matching hals but I saw these priced very reasonable. Wanted to see if anyone here was running them and if they liked them for Track use, and how "streetable" they may be. Since I do drive my car on the street once a week.

 

I've known guys that ran them on 1st and 2nd gens. Don't kow about streetable. W/a 50/50 setting it should be ok. The front drag shocks are what you really don't want to run on the street.

 

Yeah... Well I have Hal Qa1 on upfront of the car.. And it does plenty well for what I need at the present time. Just looking to see if the adjustabilty is only able to be done off the car or not. That's kind of a pain if you ask me, but 50/50 is not bad, even on the street. But I'd like to get what I can at the track out of these.

 

We have run them on our 97 for some time. They work great with Hal 12 ways on the front. Good enough for 1.3 60's.

 

Does anyone have a part number for these?

 

I have them on mine. Definately a drag shock. I would not recommend them on the street. I set mine 50/50 and it really helped out with planting the rear. On the street you would feel like you were driving a truck. Exelent bang for the buck. Oh, and I still run stock shocks up front.

 

Cool thanks for the info... how is the adjustabity on them, is it true you can only do so from the top?

 

yes they are only adjustable off the car.

 

so then 70/30 would really sink down or just respond faster?

 

interested in these as well. i went to jegs.com and could only find them up to 1992.
does anyone have a part number or link to page?
TIA

 

Whats wrong with using them on a DD set at 50/50?

 

Nothing. You just have to compromise, the ride of the car is going to be harsh. Nothing you can,t live with but some people can,t stand it.
In my opinion you make a pretty good compromise when you set the car up for straight line acceleration and then drive it on the street. I have a stock 95 V6 bird and the way it rides versus my 94 Z is like nite and day.

I am seriously considering putting a spool in my car and still driving it on the street thats how much I.ll compromise.

 

yep my car is a street car that will see the track a few times a year. It drives very well on the street, and soon it will have a strong rear with a spool also. Just sucks going around turns thats all. Big deal like you say, gotta make compromises..
