2006 parts pro master catalog high performance lakewood struts increased horsepower is of little benefit until you can put it to the ground lakewood racing shocks and struts apply maximum traction at the rear wheels by causing maximum weight transfer to the rear wheels with quick rise of the vehicle front end the result is properly loading the rear wheels to prevent over-reaction and wheel hop for race applications only use on vehicles when maximum rear traction is required application front rear buick 73-87 century regal special 90/10 40100 50/50 40300 chevrolet 67-69 70-81 82-92 63-82 70-88 68-79 camaro z28 all camaro z28 camaro z28 street/strip corvette monte carlo nova/chevy ii 90/10 40100 40101 40510 40101 40100 40100 50/50 40301 40301 40300 40300 dodge 70-74 challenger 62-76 dart demon swinger 90/10 40101 40101 ford lakewood street/strip drag shocks and struts lakewood the leader in traction and suspension products has combined its experience with the latest technology in drag shock design to develop a shock absorber that has performance characteristics superior to any other drag shock available lakewood drag shocks are manufactured with only top quality components to ensure many years of consistent high performance 94-02 79-93 73-76 77-79 mustang mustang street/strip thunderbird thunderbird 90/10 40516 40511 40101 40101 40101 40100 40101 40101 40101 40101 40100 40101 40510 40100 40100 50/50 40301 40301 40300 40300 40301 40301 40300 40300 oldsmobile 64-67 cutlass f-85 68-88 cutlass f-85 rwd plymouth 64-74 62-72 68-72 60-76 67-69 70-81 82-92 69-87 68-74 barracuda belvedere roadrunner valiant duster scamp firebird all firebird firebird street/strip grand prix gto 90/10 series front race only will let front end rise quickly to provide as much weight transfer as possible to the rear wheels in initial launch works best on vehicles where maximum rear wheel traction is required caution 90/10 front shocks are not for street use pontiac 50/50 series rear street/strip used to properly load the rear wheels and prevent over-reaction and wheel hop this shock is the best all-around choice for vehicles with leaf or coil springs 90/10 series struts race only designed to respond similar to our 90/10 series front shocks for use when quick front end lift is required off the starting line for maximum traction at the rear wheels shock absorbers would better be thought of as spring dampers because their function is to control the rate at which suspension springs compress and rebound a shock uses hydraulic resistance created by passing oil thru ports and valves to dampen the movement of a vehicle chassis shocks control two types of movement rebound and compression rebound rebound extension is the shock s resistance to being pulled apart it can be used to control chassis separation the point at which the axle housing is pushed away from the chassis and the tires are applied to the track a shock with a high stiff rebound number holds the chassis and axle together to prevent excessive separation excessive separation can lead to undesirable effects like wheel hop or tire shake which can occur as the tire tries to return to its original form rebound is used to plant the horsepower you create to the ground compression compression bump is the shock s resistance to the chassis moving down or the axle housings moving up or into the chassis the compression adjustment is an important setting as it determines how long the tires are held down on the track after chassis separation compression dampens the suspensions tendency to unload the torque and weight transfer created by rebound reading shock ratios the first digit in a shock ratio is rebound the second is compression therefore a shock marked 90/10 has been set at 90 for rebound and 10 for compression some parts are not legal for sale or use in california on any pollution controlled motor vehicle 213
