Lakewood Shocks???

[quietflow]

I was looking at ordering some Lakewood 70/30 shocks. Anyone have any experience with these? I havent seen them for the rear just the front I have seen 50/50 for the rear would those be sufficent? Any help is very appreciated. Thanks :shifter:

I have 90/10's they're decent struts


if you want a drag type strut, just get a competition engineering 3 way, or strange 10 way, as they're not too much more than the fixed rate lakewoods

Id like to but they seem like they are quite a bit more expensive, like $100 per unit, and cash is tighter now with the new house. Thanks for the replies

if you cannot afford the strange, get 70/30s....90/10 is 30 year old technology.. i have cars out there going 1.29 on 70/30s..

90/10s here. Everyone Ive heard of with the 70/30s seems to wish they have the 90/10s.....

I have the 90/10s and I will be switching over to the strange over the winter

but I will say this I lover the lakewoods on the track but they are a little much on the street not to bad just a tad loose

just wait however long it takes until you can afford the adjustables


I'm contemplating selling my 90/10's in favor of the strange 10 ways up front

[flyin_hawaiin]

the strange cant be that much more??

like 50bucks total?

they are $100 each

[bad boy]

Another vote for strange. The adjustability is great.

Alright guys the Strange 10 way adjustables are on the way, they should be here Friday at the latest. I was deciding between those and the KYB AGX. They were $100 more than the Lakewoods for all 4 but I hope they are worth it!!!! Cant wait until the 30th to try them out at the track!!!

You'll like them Adam. I only got 4 runs in and they work well, best bang for the buck.

I hope with these, removing the sway bar and getting my subframes welded in I can drop my 60ft's down to below 1.9's, and get the 12 second slip. :thud: All will be done by the 30th. I am making the end of the season dash for the 12's :shifter:

Good luck Adam!

Thanks Mike :thumbs_up
