90/10's On The Street? Empty 90/10's On The Street?

Post  billandlori March 28th 2015, 9:11 pm

I am moving along with more planning for my Fairmont. It looks like these things hook pretty good with a bit of suspension work.

The question I have is how goofy are the 90/10 struts to drive on the street? The car will mostly be on the street but I want it to hook reasonably hard. I will be getting drag radials, not sure how much surgery to do for bigger tires. The goal is to keep it as sleepy looking as possible lol!!

Thanks for the help guys!

The 90/10s are fine on the street its just the turns that get a little uneasy mine wants to lift the outer front tire but I also have mine limited and my "arb" is the only thing disconnected from track to street...

Strange 10 ways don't cost much more than 90/10's. A few clicks and you could drive down the street without puckering up your bunghole around corners.

Will they work like 90/10's on the starting line?

I have them on a couple of my mustangs. The adjustments do make a considerable difference between settings 1 and 10. I couldn't say for sure if they will give the same rate of extension and compression as the 90/10's would. Perhaps someone with more experience will chime in.

Thanks Jess, having the adjustment sounds like a good idea for different track conditions. The price is good too.
