I used to run 70/30 Lakewood struts when my car saw more street miles and had great luck with them. 70/30's are a good compromise, decent weight transfer at the drag strip but not annoying to drive on the street. I've been running 50/50 Lakewood shocks on the rear but they don't seem much different than any of the stock ones I've used. So unless your rear shocks are worn out I'd keep those and just buy some 70/30 struts on the front.
