Street - Strip Challenger front shock ? - 03/09/11 11:53 PM

I am thinking about buying a pair of front TC1539P - QA1 Stocker Star AL Shocks for my stock bodied Challenger. This will be a mostly street driven 600 hp car with super stock springs and 11" tires. Can these shocks be adjusted to get good weight transfer or is there a better choice? Thanks for any oppinions and experience you can share.

I have cheap CE 3 ways on my street/strip Dart, it's powered by a pump gas 408. It's gone 1.38 60' several times and normally goes 1.39-1.40 on MT ET Street Radials. Most here will you to stay away from them, but they seem to work for me, your results may vary though. I'd like to see how my car would react to a "better" shock but the costs are to high for me to try.

Sometimes the cheap shocks work. I have never had good luck w/ the CE shocks, but Justin's obviously work great.
I have an old pair of Lakewood 90/10s on my car that I drained and replaced the oil w/ some lighter viscosity oil.
I tried the Calvert 90/10s and my car did not like them at all.

I'm in the same boat as Justin though...I'd love to try a good shock, but right now I don't have the money for them.
