NEWBIE SHOCKS/STRUTS ? 50/50 , 70/30

[igotyofire]

Ok i tried to get a response from an older thread but no luck. So starting a new one. Anyways i see that lakewood carries these shocks that say 90/10 70/30 50/50, etc....... I know these are drag struts but what are the differences between them? I would like to make my car hookup well but its not strictly a track car as it is daily driven.

I was thinking maybe i could get Ford C springs along with these shocks, or BBk specific springs. not sure

Personally i'd stick with regular street shocks/struts unless you are really big on going to the drag track. If thats the case, then why go with the C or BBK springs, why not drag springs.
I could be wrong, but i believe the more difference there is between the numbers (90/10) the more radical of a drag strut it is. It has to do with the way the strut/shock is valved but i dont know the specifics, hopefully somebody else can chime in on this.

i want my car to have a lowered look to it, but id still like it to hook up well. my friend has lowered springs and drag struts in the front and rear control arms, His car takes off better then alot of cars ive seen and it lifts in the front for weight transfer.i was just curious as to the different kinds of struts lakewood has to offer from. Im probably getting C springs

since you have not had a lot of luck with the info pouring in, you could check in fox tech (i know searching for the numbers is tough, but try searching 'lakewood' - i think there are 2 threads a day over there on them.

or call/email lakewood with your set up and desires - they should know what would be best for your application.

i dont know about you guys, but rear control arms make a huge difference on foxes.

good luck - make sure you post what you go with and how it works, for future searchers.
