Anyone using the Strange single adjustable struts on their fox body's? I've been offered a set at a gimme price and was wondering if I should grab them or go with something else.

I am. Can't say anything wrong about them. However I'm no suspension guru by any means. Whats the gimme price? I paid $119 ea for 10 ways. One thing to keep in mind though is they fit 87-93's (I think) and I have an 85. Therefore on pre 87's you have to mill some material from the strut mounting pad where it connects to by the rotor. This is not uncommon to make them fit.

We do! Much better alternative than non-adjustable. Strange does offer a double adjustable now, but they are pricey, $998 Shocked I think when I do get around to buying doubles for the front, I'll go the extra dollar and get the Santhuff doubles.

The strange struts are the best bang for the buck IMO.

Get them. I've noticed no difference between those and the QA1s. Both work well.

It's amazing how much one click of the knob makes on them. I've picked up a few tents in the 60 foot with those struts before.

good bang for the buck, but they do wear out fast.

We usually run the Strange Single Adj. Struts up front, and Strange or Afco Double adjustables in the rear. No issues thus far.
