Can someone tell me if these are drag shocks, or if they might work on a street car?
I have no experience with valving ratios as listed - Thanks

The 90/10 adjustment on the front shocks is for drag racing but the front and rear shock also have adjustments that are for street only. I say order a set they look fine to me.
Well the 90/10 valving is for drag racing. The other two (70/30 & 60/40) I'm not sure of.
QuoteThe picture certainly is not of a 65-70 Mustang shock. Surely it must be a mistake but OP had better confirm before ordering.
They show 2 different part numbers for the front shocks 65-70 and 71-73. The center picture is correct for 65-70.
These look a lot like Gabriel Striders but with different valving.
I assume you guys are thinking the 60/40 setting would be OK for street?
At any rate, finding hydraulic non-gas shocks nowadays at a reasonable price is difficult, especially with the somewhat correct look.

FYI if wanting those because of perceived historical correctness then be aware that the front and rear are shaped different then original. The shape of the front is harder to see but the rears are out in the open. Even with the front adjuster ring they are still worse off (look wise) then aftermarket shocks of the right shape but without the adjuster ring .That is if perceived historical correctness is your goal. Those shocks have been around for decades.There are other brands of drag shocks with the front adjuster too. I typically see people buying them to use them as donors for the front adjuster ring. The adjuster ring on the front shock is grafted onto aftermarket front shock with the correct historical shape.

No the adjuster ring is the only thing that compares to a Gabrial strider because the shape of the front shock and rear shocks are completely different.
Yes, I was referring to the front only. I have a couple sets of front and rear Striders, and the fronts look pretty close to mine (with noted exception to the shape of the tube). I know they aren't going to pass for originals upon close scrutiny.
There are about 6 versions of the Striders from over the decades so check them closely when comparing them. Most of the differences are in the front shocks from the ones I've had and seen
