Default Shocks & Springs

Picked up a set of 4cyl springs and lakewood 90/10 struts for the front. Would like to hear feedback from people who have used this setup on the street seeing as there going on my DD.

For those who don't know I have an 88 lx.

it's about the same as driving a 4cyl. car except for you having more power.I haven't really felt any difference between my 85 and 91

I think what he is doing went over your head. Your weight transfer is going to be insanely different, you're going to **** your pants if you have a sticky tire haha. I'm running a cut Eibach Drag Spring and some strange adjustables up front and it's nuts!

Sounds like I will go ahead and install them. I heard from some that I will give up drivability with running this setup. I also have the front sway bar removed.

Besides running dr's at the track would I notice a difference running street tires as well?
