will lakewood shocks and struts handle ok on a wekend driver

[black87gtbeauty]

i just recently went to the track, ran a 13.5 at 102 but my 60 foot time was a 1.96. so i figure if i bring that down to about a 1.8 or even lower i will be close to 12's. do you guys think 90/10's up front and 50/50's on the rear would handle ok on the street for a weekend driver, also i already have mac upper and lower control arms with no quad shocks

for weekends yeah it'll be ok, you might want to try 70/30's up front....50/50 on back are fine for daily

but i hate to talk you out of the 90/10's

do the 50/50's and se what happens...no reason you can't see a 1.7x on et streets w/ no huge launch

I had 90/10's and 50/50's with moroso drag springs and no sway bar. The car was okay on the street. It did have a lot of body roll but was tolerable. My 245/255 tires helped in that area a bit. The car rode like garbage and I could feel every little bump but it did lauch really well on drag radials. I eventually wanted more adjustability so I went with coil overs all around and adjustable shocks and struts. Now I can get the best of both worlds.

I run 90/10s and 50/50s with Eibach drag launch springs w/airbag and removed front sway bar on my daily driver lol. I drive it like 150-200 miles a week i think, probably not what most people on this board would recommend. I'll say this, it is not even CLOSE to being a comfortable, but yeah it helps the hook in straight lines (though i still smoke my BFG KDWSs through 1st, which totally bites). To give you an idea of how it handles etc, yes you'll pretty much feel every bump, and yes there will be some roll. If i were to sit still or be going slow, and turn my wheel all the way over, and just hammer on it, i would not do a donut. The car would just sortof lean and smoke the tires, maybe start turning a little bit. I'd probably have to clutch kick that sucker pretty good to get a donut out of it, and then it would probaby feel horrible, just the way the suspension handles it.

But who cares about donuts? It gets down when you're going straight. When i had my BFG drag radials on (oh how i miss them) it hooked really well. I've had a couple people say stuff like "man it looked like you were about to pull a tire" or something lol....and i'd tell them "dude i wasn't even close, my car is weak" but that's just how much the suspension squats/lifts.

For a weekend car i dont see the big deal, i say get them. For most people though i wouldn't recommend them for a daily driver, if you care about comfort. If i had to do it again i'd probably get them again, i dont care about comfort as much as i do traction.
Hope this helped, good luck.

thanks guys, i think im gonna get them, the car already rides like hell so maybe it will be no big diffrence, and if it helps bring my 60 ft down to 1.7's i should definetly hit 12's
