With FFW race seasons coming up I've got a few things to change out. I just want to have fun running N/A while I'm waiting to wrap up final decisions on the blower setup. This will also allow me time to learn/tweak the suspension, practice shifts, burnouts, etc. Anyway......
What will my car handle like on the road with 70/30 or 90/10 shock/struts on? Mushy as hell or just slightly different?
Will be looking to order soon guys so give me some feedback.

Other things will be line-lock, welded torque boxes, d/s loop, new wheels and slicks.

Thanks.

I could tell you a story about some 90/10s going through the hood on a fox body car I had when I got lost in E. St. Louis one time and found a couple pot holes. 70/30s if your'e gonna keep it on the street or best of both worlds would be some Tokico 5 ways.

Not saying that you'd be wasting your time, but even if you setup your suspension perfectly, adding the blower is gonna require it be setup different again in order to handle the power. I was gonna do the same thing and get a drag setup then I realized I'd much rather have an enjoyable drive on the highways where the car spends most of its time anyway. Im goin with adjustable struts and shocks.

You guys with Fox springs up front did you also go with 90/10 struts for Fox bodies?
