RS-9204 Rancho is a good adjustable street strip shock.  ------------------

Thanks do you about what they run.
And what do think of the summit racing adjustable front shocks,they go from 70/30-60/40-90/10 they run about $27 each.They would be better then the old worn out ones now. SCOOP ------------------

Have had very good luck with KYB's. Firm, but not uncomfortable, ride. With front and rear sway bars, 1" front and 3/4 rear, car handles good for a streeter.

I used those KYB shocks all around back when the mustang was set up to go around turns... and still used the rear ones up until a few years ago when I went to Cal-Tracs and #9204 Ranchos. By the way, my best 60ft (a nitroused 1.43 on a 28x9 tire) came with the KYB rear shocks and slapper bars. Good Luck! ------------------
