Hi guys,
I'm going to be tackling my suspension on my 89lx which is currently bone stock with the exception of MM subframe connectors...The car will be mostly street, but i want it to perform at the strip as well...I was thinkin some Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks, with 90/10 struts up front and some H&R springs...approx ($650) vs a MM coilover setup which would run (approx $1500)...That is a lot of extra cash for weight savings, and ability to adjust ride height!!!...(maybe i'm missing something here)...what does everyone think about my idea??...any suggestions would be appreciated...thanx

Instead of running lakewood struts and shocks i would look into getting a set of adjustables. Like Strange engineering 10 ways.

i have lakewoods and love them.....if your looking to perform well at the strip you may want to stay away from H&R Springs because they will hurt ur time....u may want to look into Eibach's Drag Launch Kit I have it and my car is fine for daily street driving
