I ran the lakewoods a while back and they were ok but extend slow but might be better for my car now. There`s a grip of good shocks to choose from these days.

Calvert Racing front shocks - good price at ProMax and set up to work well with stock suspension or Cal-tracs

These worked the best so far for me.

I had the Calvert 90/10s on the front of my Dart for about a month and they didn`t make any difference. I took them off and went back to my Koni SPA-1s.I was actually spinning the tires more maybe they released too fast, I don`t know but the car likes the Konis better.

I had a set of 70/30s on the front - maybe they were a dud set, but the lower bushes wore out in no time, and the release was more like 90/10 on the street...very sloppy.

You cannot go wrong with a set of double adjustable AFCO's.

Hmmm, street car you say? 90/10s are not really the hot setup.

I use to run Lakewood 90/10's on my street/strip GTX for years,with no problem on the street at all. Switched to the Calvert's last spring,and what a difference in front-end separation on launch at the track! Actually get a little air under the tires now! RandyB
