I just ordered a set of UPR dbl adjustable upper control arms and I already have a set of MM lca's. I run tokico lowering springs with tokico non adj shocks/struts all around. What would be the best drag strut for my application? I have a 5 spd car. Im pretty sure a 90/10 would be too violent for a stick car. Would a lakewood 70/30 be a good choice?

Im going to set the pinion angle when I put the uppers in and im going to be running a MT drag radial. I have removed my front swaybar.

I actually talked to a tech at Strange about the adj. front shocks on a lowered car, and the tech told me that the shocks were designed for the stock ride hieght and a lowered car of 1.5 - 2" would severly deminish performance. I am now going to buy tokico 90-10 adj.
 
I think you'll find that on any lowered vehicle. I know when I talked to Dave @ Team Z Motorsports (builds race chassis) in length about my radial car which is in the weeds, the Stranges were still a very good choice and were yeild excellent results sub 1.30 60fts.


Interesting info....

My front isn't as low as it used to be. I've removed over 100 lbs from the front. The springs originally lowered it maybe 1.25", now it sits a little higher.

I think i'll go with the strange struts.
