I use the Spax adjustable perch shocks (they make a non adjustable set as
well, so be sure you're getting the right one). I like the "stiffness"
adjustment feature, you can make changes to the settings without jacking
the car up, just reach under the car and twist the knob. I find I run
around 7 clicks from soft (out of ~20) and Watkins Glen and 10 on smoother
tracks like Thompson and Lime Rock. I've had one fail, after launching the
car at Pocono, and a second set just wore out after 10 years.
