I've had the 50/50's on for a decent while and liked how they performed on the track. I then switched to strange 10 ways and they are indeed noisy as hell but the adjustability is nice. Haven't had a chance to test them at the track yet though

Strider, how did those 50/50s work on the street?

Says the guy who isn't setting up his car for the drag strip.

He is asking about a drag strip setup, not which shocks make noise. Like mentioned above most things that are setup for the strip are going to be noisy.

There is nothing wrong with Stange 10 ways for a drag setup. With new shocks and struts plus UCAs your car will launch much better.

Honestly, if I were to swap them out on your car overnight, you probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference. They are a bit firmer over bumps (really noticeable over speed bumps) but they arent trerrible. Drag suspension on the street handles like a boat anyway. Body roll and slow reactions FTW.

I have run both of these shocks on my car within the last year and have tested them both at the strip. I still have 3 sets of 50/50s and a set of front 70/30s in my garage right now.

I only asked because I know Brandon, and he had crazy wheel hop issues with those shocks. The problem I see with Lakewood 50/50s is that not every car is going to perform ideally with a 50/50 shock. Even if the set you get from Lakewood doesn't leak or have any problems.

If you get a set of 50/50s (which is the rating of the stock rear shocks anyways.........) and you have wheel hop issues, then you are stuck at that 50/50 setting. With an adjustable shock, you make a few runs and find out which setting your car likes off the line and then put them there when you go to the track.

For front Struts, I think that the adjustability is much less of an issue. I have had 70/30s up there and have also tried my strange 10-ways on multiple settings....all having almost identical results.

Never experienced wheel hop in any of my mustangs..so cant really elaborate on that one for you

I think people (including myself) tend to over think stuff like this. For a car like the OPs that has seen very little track time, my honest advice would be to take the car to the track and see how it performs. You can make a better determination of what the car needs from a suspension standpoint.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

well i ordered the 5050s and ill get some UCAs which should i get for those? and if I still have wheel hop nothing a nice hoosier QTP cant fix lol

10-ways of AFCO's depending on power/tire/suspension type.
