After doing some mods on the darts rear suspention, i'm thinking "shocks" on all 4, now i'm looking at the CEs adj. drag shocks, are the rears any good? Right now i'm running some Monroe truck gas-matics with alot of extention (more then enough), but i realize the other important part is "controlling" the seperation & still hook up, i'm sure i'll go with the CEs for the fronts, i've thought about Calverts drag shocks, this is only a mid 12 second car with a mild 360, 60fts. are between 1.80-1.82, best of a 1.79.
So, should i invest in rear shocks like the CEs, or keep the Monroes or maybe Ranchos? Remember i'm not "rockafella", so don't shoot me some 500.00 double adjustables lol, this is only a 12 second car.

dont waste your money and forget those CE shocks and choose Caltrac front and Rancho rear shocks. Here is what Iam talkeing about : http://www.4secondsflat.com/CalTracs.html
I'm not getting caltracs, just can't afford it, my main concern was the CE shocks, i did find a member with a set of Rancho 9000s for a decent price.

I wouldnt use the CE on either end... for the buck the Calvert fronts are nice... granted they arent adjustable but should work well on your car... for the rears the Ranchos would be the MINIMUM and you might be right near the max setting.... your catching on in the aspect that you need to CONTROL the separation... all cars dont do the same thing so you need some adjustablity (more torque needs more)... this would be about the cheapest way to get SOME control...JMO

I have the MP long extension drag shock out back and CE 90/10's up front. They are affordable and the car 60 foots in the mid 1.60's and hikes the left front on every pass, only running 12.00's. 
This is good to know.

Joe, I have treid the QA1, Koni SPA and the CE on the front, the Koni SPA work best for me. Summit carrys them and there reasonable, not as cheap as the CE but they work good  Better than the more expensive QA1  Believe it or not I'm thinking of putting a set of stock HD Monroe on the front to slow the reaction times down so I can leave sooner at the track, we will see
