I am pretty sure the race ones are adjustable as well, actually I am 100% sure.
Hope this helps.
Lev-my advice to you (and this is what I would do if i was doing it again) is to buy just the rear ones new, and buy blown front ones (cheap) and have them re-valved to race spec, and get a 700-750 spring instead of the 650.
That's how I would do it if I had the knowledge then that I do now.

Did you have to have yours revalved for the springs your using now? Would they need to be revalved for 500lb springs?

No, these are new out of the box settings, car feels pretty good with the hollow bar up front, but I feel like I need a little more spring and shock to get faster...esp. once I start using hoosiers. The rear feels really awesome though, I am very happy with it, very good throttle control (I don't know if that's the correct term).

Both are yellow and are adjustable. The "Race" shock could be considered a re-valved version of the "Sport", as they are both of similar construction, but their valving adjusts over a different range.
I'd suggest calling up Shaikh at FatCat Motorsports and Brian at Goodwin Racing to discuss the correct shock for your application. I've had the opportunity to learn from them both at some length- very knowledgeable dudes.

I've got a ghetto setup... I guess two owners ago the guy cut the springs and they were way soft, so it was sitting on the bump stops, so the previous owner found some Escort Wagon springs (yeah...) and slapped 'em on the front, then it was sitting too high (duh), so he used some sort of permanent spring compressor to bring the height down to normal again... These springs are like rocks...
But the upside is the car came with a complete parts car, so I'm going to drop in the stock '94 shocks/springs into it shortly, hopefully it'll clear up the crazy bumpy ride.

i say longer/heavier because i havent decided which to do yet. my car is hitting the bumpstops in the rear over big dips and bumps. i havent decided yet if i'm going to just get longer rear springs to get off the bumps or go heavier all around. 9kf/ 7kr maybe...i need to talk to stance and see what they think.
