I had Lakewood for years. then drilled shocks, then custom carrara (by Eles engeneering), then Comp eng 3 way then calvert 90/10. best so far close to the drilled fluid shocks but still work as a shock top end on rough tracks.
Same here ! best thing I ever did for the car

I just ordered a set of Calverts for my car today. I am switching from Koni 3 ways to these. Not enough dampening on the compression with the konis when you hit the brakes at 140 mph.... I found that out the hard way Sunday lol....
