Where should I set adj shocks for both the street and strip?? On the street, I want handling. On the track, I want 60' of course!! :D I need both the front and rear settings. These will be used in conjunction with Bell Tech lowering spindles/springs for the front and rear. I'll be running 17"wheels on the street with 15"and DR/slicks for the rear when I'm at the track or out trolling! ;) Thanks!
 
I prefer to run the stiffest settings that I can get away with like 70/30 and 50/50. That way the car will move foward sooner instead of up, if I had 90/10's. If you have the lowering springs for the front then 90/10's may be ok since the front springs are already stiff and make the front end feel heavier during the launch but try 70/30 first.
For the rear, keep it stiff. you don't want the rear raising up or squatting during the launch.

You are getting adjustable front shocks aren't you???

Thanks, Kevin!!
I'm definitely getting adj all the way around. What do I want to run on the street for better handling??
 
For street handeling the 70/30 would be ok or even a 60/40 for the front and the 50/50 will be ok for the rear.
