Default adjustable drag shocks?

Does anyone make an adjustable drag shock for the C-4? A shock that will work well on the street and you can adjust for good weight transfer at the track?

Thanks,
Kerry

QA1. Others, too, but I don't recall specifically. Maybe Koni, Competition Engineering, etc.

Thanks Mackeyred,
I called about these today. They make the R series which is a drag only shock. And the C series which is a street shock. The tech man said the R series would make the car nervous on the street, but the C series work well on the street and the strip. He said use the softest setting when you are at the track. He said that I would notice a difference.

Which ones are you using?

Thanks again,
Kerry
