I'm getting Lakewood 90/10's for the front, and just wondered what are some good rear shocks. I don't really care much about ride quality, I just want traction. Would Lakewood 50/50's be good? What are you guys running?

Thanks

i've heard of a lot of people using rancho rs5000 shocks because they are easliy adjustable, although i'm not sure what application they would be intended for originally, but i'm sure a call to their tech line would reveal that.

Are they air shocks?

no it's actually an off-road shock, but they are 3 or maybe 5 way adjustable, and they seem to be pretty popular with drag racing guys
