If you are driving it on the street, I wouldn't suggest 90/10's. That's too much of a drag shock.

Ive seen people ride 90/10's on the street but it was far from comfortable. 70/30's would be your best choice between the two.

I beleive that lakewood sells the struts as 70/30s or 90/10s, the shocks that they sell are 50/50s. Maybe it's the other way around, but I would go with the 70/30s.
