Default Lakewood Struts

Ok, just did my first set of them. 90/10's for my drag car.
Took about 90 minutes start to finish. Pretty easy change out if you ask me.
Oh, BTW, saved the little spacers they send with the new struts. Used new lower bolts that I bought separtely.
Pretty happy with product......

Even in the intructions they say they are 'for race use only'.....
The part I didn't like was when I was looking them over closely they said 'Hecho en Mexico'-------Made in Mexico if you don't know the langauge.......
First class product.
DD should maybe use 30/70's

WTF are you trying to say?
If you have a Fox body as far as I know you have a strut and a spring.
The strut takes the place of the shock......
stick your head under the car you claim to own and take a look......

Question for Tinman, Iam thinking of replaceing the struts on my 91 GT. Did you lift the front end to do this or were you able to do one side at a time. Thanks

Also did the new struts come with the bushing or you had to use the old ones?
