lookin for a decent "all around" shock.

I found one of the shocks in my 91 is leaking by. Kinda explains a few things. I want a set of shocks that are good for some track use, but wont rock me to sleep in traffic. Looking to solve some major traction problems in the process.

Also, since my car is not lowered, which i dont intend to do, are lower control arm RLB's a good idea? Like i said, i have a fair amount of items done so far. Looking at a new torque arm, and a set of SFC's to finish things up.

in my opinion you can't beat KYB's equipment for bang for the buck. i got mine $163 shipped to my door and love them, especially sicne i do mostly normal everyday driving. if you have a little extra cash to spend then bilstein and koni's are the only way to go. Also if your'e lowering your lca's and adjustable panhard bar are a good idea in order to help center the rear and get the power to those wheels

looks into the lakewood drag shocks and struts form jegs.

they are good for street and drag use.

NON-LOWERED vehicles will also see a dramatic increase in traction by lowering the rearward angle of the LCA with our relocation brackets. The lower mount holes are placed in the arc pattern of the OEM length LCA. Therefore allowing a non-lowered F-Body to drop the rear LCA angle and NOT require a longer than OEM LCA. All geometry is correctly maintained. The anti-squat performance is providing most users with a full .10 or better 60' reduction!

so yes lca relocation brackets are affective in helping traction.
