Do you want stiff suspension for drag racing?

When you need to hit the track hard with the tire you’ll want to have the rebound on a softer setting, while a stiff setting will slow the shock rebound down so you’ll hit the tire softer.

How do you adjust the rear shocks on a drag car?

To set the rear shock’s extension baseline, turn the extension adjuster to the hardest (full clockwise) position. This makes the shock hard to extend, which will limit the car’s chassis separation at launch. To set the rear shock compression baseline, turn the adjuster to the full soft (full counterclockwise) position.

Why strange drag racing shocks?

Available in a wide variety of high-performance possibilities, Strange Drag Racing Shocks are precision manufactured from lightweight aircraft quality aluminum and hardened steel. Strange Engineering constantly goes to the racers to find out what they need in a drag race coil over shock.

Are adjustable shock absorbers good for drag racing?

Adjustable shock absorbers are becoming popular in drag racing. You can adjust their damping characteristics to suit varying tracks and/or track conditions to eliminate wheel hop and tire shake. That leads to improved reaction times. The best adjustable shocks are the ones that offer both compression and extension adjustment.

How do you adjust the rear shocks on a track car?

When adjusting the rear shocks, the idea is to force the rear tires onto the track surface as hard as possible (track conditions permitting). Keep in mind the shocks are what actually control how much force or “hit” you’re applying to the tires.

Does drag racing performance begin and end with the rear suspension?

Drag racing newcomers often fall prey to the ideology that performance and consistency both begin and end with the rear suspension configuration and setup. After all, that’s where the drive tires are, right?
