Strange Adjustable Shocks

[vektro69]

I have a 73 Challenger and looking to get rid of the air shocks that came on it when I got it. I like the idea of adjustable shocks, but it gets a bit pricey. Just came across some from Strange that are $175 a shock.Qa1 are $215. Not too bad. My car is just a cruiser, no drag racing, 340 car. Just looking for a better ride than kyb that I have in the front. Seems a little harsh. Adjustables, I can make them whatever I want, softer, firmer, or somewhere in the middle.
I don’t see much about these shocks. Anyone here ever use them or know more about them

Based on my own experience, KYBs can be stiffer than OEM, and soft on the rebound. I've used them in a 280ZX I rebuilt with polyurethane bushings, and a 1971 GTX B-Body. I liked the stiffness at first, but grew to dislike it in time. Further, I too have grown to dislike air shocks, especially in the rear, for similar reasons to yours. The only Strange brand shocks I've known anyone to use was on cars with structs and coil-over springs. Bilstein is a common go-to for E-bodies with standard suspensions.

Thanks for the reply. I ran Bilstein on my 69 Super Bee and did like them. But, for just a bit more, I thought adjustables could be a better option.

Not a fan of KYB , We used a lot of different adj shocks on drag set ups , not so much on cornering / street set ups
Bilstein & QA1 are great , even Rancho makes great shocks .
