Default Lakewood shocks

I'm looking at getting a set of Lakewood shocks all around, What would be the best ratio to get for a daily driven drag car; the 50/50 rear, 90/10 front or the 50/50 rear with 70/30 front? Will these work well with my Eibach Drag-Launch springs? Also can you remove the quad shocks in the rear and just run the one set of shocks without any problems? Thanks as always for the info.

The 70/30 would be better for a mostly street driven car, and the 50/50 will be fine on the rear..Also if you get a good set of U/L control arms the factory quads shocks are no longer needed..But with the factory control arms i would not recommend removing them unless you want to experience some outragous wheel hop from time to time.

I have a set of BBK upper and lower rear control arms for my car, just waiting to put them in after my shocks and springs show up. =) Thanks for the tip! =)

70/30 with 50/50 is about all you can get away with on the street......

why not get adjustables for the front. that way you can run safely on the street and then have 90/10 for the track
