Strange Shocks and Struts

4pointquick · June 3rd, 2009, 09:39 AM

I just ordered Strange 10-way adjustable shocks and struts beacuse i haven't heard anything bad about them. I know strange makes some good shit, but has anybody here used their shocks and struts? I'll be running these shocks and struts along with H&R SS springs and prothane iso's

y2k02 · June 3rd, 2009, 11:03 AM

I have them on my car.

Hawaiianbro · June 3rd, 2009, 06:55 PM

Ive heard great things about them. But I have Tokico's.
One think I like about Strange is there prices. Wish I saw them before I got Tokico.

AzSonicSnake · June 3rd, 2009, 06:57 PM

the only negative i have heard about the stranges was where the adjuster is on the rear shocks....

Yellow02GTauto · June 3rd, 2009, 07:24 PM

I use the strange 10 way adjustable coil overs on the front.......they work great! But are a little noisy......I may go with the steeda 5 way adjustable coil overs on the front....they run quiet on the street.....my car is a daily driven car

where did you buy thoughs?

gray8188 · June 3rd, 2009, 08:38 PM

Summit sells them scott... And yes i was going to buy these until i heard about how much noise they made and that turned me away from them so i picked up the tokico d-specs instead..

KevinJ99GT · June 3rd, 2009, 09:49 PM

I had strange 10 way shocks on the back for about a year and i liked them at first then they went bad and wouldnt adjust or anything. Maybe it was just me because ive heard alot of good things about them.

4pointquick · June 5th, 2009, 07:59 PM

yea i keep hearing good things havent heard anything about the noise until i looked at this forum, but we puttin the intake back on the 69 camaro so since the shops clearing out im gunna throw the shocks and struts on very shortly

Trevor04GT · June 5th, 2009, 10:13 PM

Their struts suck! They work, but they rattle and are very annoying. My best mod on my car was taking them out. The rear shocks are great, and for the price, are hard to beat. I would stay as far away from their fronts as possible.

4pointquick · June 12th, 2009, 10:03 AM

They've been on for a week and theyre great. I have noise coming from the passeger rear but its the plastic trunk interior that keeps hitting the metal trunk liner. I have them all set to #4 with H&R springs and the ride is still rough. Just gota fine tune it i suppose

Sorry.. pet peeve.

BEASTstang · November 9th, 2009, 03:35 AM

I had a ? about adjustment ...What setting are you guys running at the track ? And ,just to make sure is it clockwise for stiffer settings ??????

Thanks for any help !!!!!

DickH · November 9th, 2009, 03:42 AM

I have the 10 ways on the back, love them. I dont have any problems with the adjustment location, can reach through the rim or from behind the tire, either way im sitting on the ground, but its easy. Will be getting the adjustable fronts when I do tubular front with coil over, hope those work out just as well.

BEASTstang · November 9th, 2009, 04:40 AM

Which way is the stiffer setting ???? Turning the knob clockwise ??? Thanks

What setting are you using at the track ??? Sorry for all the ????

DickH · November 9th, 2009, 04:54 AM

oh I dont remember, just go all the way one way... you will know if its the stiff direction fairly quickly. I seem to like all the way (not stiff) for the drivers side and one shy for the passenger side, mixed with adjustable upper/lower control arms I now have worlds more traction than I did before.

saxmanJJ · November 9th, 2009, 10:03 AM

clockwise = stiffer

I have them, front and rear.
In my case, the struts are quiet but the shocks are very annoyingly noisy!!!

DickH · November 9th, 2009, 03:25 PM

make sure that nut or whatever at the top is tight, might help with noise.

JerseyTrueBlue · November 9th, 2009, 04:11 PM

I'm running them with c springs and the ride is nice and firm I love it. I dunno why people are sayign they make noise and the struts suck I have no complaints. The only thing that would turn me away from them is they aren't gas loaded but most replacement shocks aren't i believe.

dcook_14 · November 9th, 2009, 04:40 PM

How adjustable are these? Can you make major changes with them or is it just kinda for tweaking a setup?
