Anyone use Lakewook struts/ shocks?
I just ordered there rear shocks (50/50) from Jeg's. They aren't adjustable, but were $39 each. Anyone give any comments on these.

I have the 50/50 Lakewood shocks out backand the 70/30 drag struts up front.
They are liveable on the street and weight transfew is awesome! My car pulls a 1.63 60' time. When combined with other drag type suspension parts, they are great.
I noticed a little difference on the street. Youjust have to be smart abouthow you drive your car. I also removed the front sway bar.
Hope that helps.

I have the Lakewood 90/10's up front with the sway bar connected. I have 3-way CE's out back on 40/60. It drives pretty decent on the street with 15" tires. The ride is a bit more choppy, I guess you could call it. I also have PST PolyGraphite bushings which I'm sure adds in the harsher feel.
I noticed some weight transfer from a slow roll but nothing crazy. I think you need to get a good tire and hook to really notice it. I had the sway bar out once with 70/30's up front and stock shocks out back. Not noticebale with that but probably b/c the rear shocks weren't compressing fast enough. Also same traction issue.
