My thoughts are to let the shock do all the work for the most adjustability. Using the same shocks(lakewood 90/10s) my cars front end movement at the track was vastly improved when I moved to the RMS stuff. I am to a point now where I need adjustable shocks but I just haven't done it yet.

Mine has Afco doubles on the front. They've been revalved 50% tighter. Poly strut rod and lower bushings. Stock rubber upper bushings.Car has 55% on the nose. Many times it gets slowed down to run index. Foot brake only. With that and bracket racing at local tracks it has averaged 1.29 over the last 7 years.
