will this be streetable (daily driver)
need some input on the lakewood 90/10 50/50 struts and shocks setup. the question is will they be good for everyday street use? and can anyone suggest a good pair of tires that are good for everyday driving and track use? thank you ahead of time 
EDIT: and are these any good? again for everyday use with the occasional track time http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/UPR-200209

i run those control arms. i regret buying them now that i know my car is going to just be a weekend cruiser/drag race. so i want adjustables now. but they are a great piece IMO.
90/10 and 50/50's are fine for DD'ing.
IMO though you should really go with strange engineering shocks n struts and never look back. they are good for everything!

strange is second to none.
kyb's are stock replacements...maybe slightly better.*edit* better than stock since i see you listed the adjustables...but no where near the quality and adjustability of strange.
lakewood makes really nice stuff and has been around forever.
