I got some 50/50 drag shocks for the rear, hoping it will help my et's.
anyone running these?

i got some lakewood 50/50 drags, they seem to help. remember shocks alone cant do much without control arms.

got to lift that front end to make it squat

next friday I 'm getting some 70/30 struts. will these make a difference with stock control arms?
will it take a tenth or 2 off my et?

vfast

yes...you'll need some good DR'S as well

whats 50/50 70/30 etc. mean? How do they affect normal driving, going over bumps, etc. ?

silver91gt

it is the ratio of bound/rebound, meaning how much force it takes to move it in or out.
a 50/50 shock absorbs and extends at the same rate, but 70/30 struts take more force to extend than contract.

someone correct me if I am wrong.

Actually, it's the other way around. You want the shocks to extend easily (30) to get the weight onto the rear tires, then keep the weight there by not contracting as easy (70).
