Has anyone use them on the street???
Any gains on the drag strip??
I know they are supposed to be used for drag racing only, but what about if you only drive it once in a while on the street and from home to the drag strip???
I drove mine everyday with them....it was fine
I take the sway bars off at the track, car hooked up better (1.62 60's) and started pulling the left wheel
I have them, and love them I never did get to run the car with them though...
I do drive the car on the street (daily driver during spring/summer) with those, no front sway bar, 50/50 lakewoods in the rear, and i love it. Alot of people would say this is dangerous on the street, but i have no problem what so ever with it.

Hey eades, what was the fastest you ran before you got shipped off? I remember when we were all betting on whether or not your tranny would go lol but can't remember what you ended up running.
I've watched a lot of cars at the track with 90/10's and I wouldn't think they are great for street use. A guy in an automatic Camaro was practically bouncing up to the 2nd prestage light. The front end of the car springs up so easily because of the rebound rates of the shocks. If you hit a bump with a 90/10 strut at any type of speed, it could get ugly quick. I wouldn't use 90/10's on the street. This is just my opinion - for the average person who see's the regular street/strip use, the advantages of the 90/10's at the track do not outweigh the versatility of the 70/30's. The difference in the 60 foot times would depend on how much power the car is making, and what type of suspension is used but for an average Mustang, there could be a loss of 0.1 seconds at a max. between the two.

I think you should try them. Its really not bad at all. With stock springs, and my shocks/struts it definatly gets some good weight transfer but in no way is it dangerous on the street. I do alot of street driving and have never had any issues. Without the sway bar on also, i just need to take it easy in the corners cause it dips real bad..
Those cars you seen must have had a really tricked out suspension, or ve4ry very light front end.
