maybe they are afraid they'll go too fast?

thats a beautiful setup. if it's a daily driver might wanna go 70/30's .

50/50's out back w/ either.

i run the mega bite jr's in the rear with strange 10 way shocks and for the front i have no sway bar, strange 10 way struts and 4 banger springs. works pretty good. 90/10 is too soft for the street in my opinion, i set my front struts stiffer then the rear when on the street because of my soft springs and no sway bar

the stiffness of the shock/strut. 90/10 is very soft while 50/50 is medium. 50/50 is the firmest youd really want to run on the street. road racing though, they run stiffer for better cornering.

thats the best explanation i can give. it has to do with the rate of compression compaired to the rate of rebound....some one who can use those technical terms might be able to explain it better

You dont want to do 90/10 for a street car. During hard breaking the nose will dip very low. If you hit someone like this it would about place your hood at their bumper level. Not good. The numbers mean, if I remember correctly, 90% rebound 10% compression.

is there a difference in how lift bars work with an auto compared to a manual?
