I've been running Lakewood 50/50 shocks on the rear for a few years now. They work well and I like them but they don't seem much different than the cheap monroe shocks I had on there before that. I think stock shocks are 50/50 or very close, maybe someone can verify that? The Lakewoods seem to be good quality but not much different as far as ride and weight tranfer compared to stock ones in my opinion. I'm assuming you are looking for straight line weight transfer...if so moroso trick springs and 90/10 struts(or 70/30's for street strip) make a much bigger difference. I would spend the money on springs and drag struts if you don't have them already or unless your current shocks are bad and need replaced anyway.

I know that the 90/10's would work the best and that is going to be my next purchase. I scored the 50/50's for a good price so I figured I would get those and put them on. my major thing next is going to be trick springs and 90/10's
