Lakewood 90/10 struts
I am in the process of scoping out a new set of 90/10 struts. I mostly am going to race the car but does anybody know if you can drive the car on the street with these? Obviously the car can be driven but what are the drawbacks?

90/10 Series Front (Race Only):
Will let front end rise quickly to provide as much weight transfer as possible to the rear wheels on initial launch. Works best on vehicles where maximum rear wheel traction is required. Caution: 90/10 front shocks are not for street use.
70/30 Series Front (Street/Strip):
Used for overall improved handling on the strip or when quick front end lift is not needed. Works best on medium to high horse power vehicles with wide tires, and low to medium horse power vehicles with slicks. This is the perfect shock for vehicles driven both on the street and on the strip.

i went with the 70/30 because my car is a daily driver, plus i run no sway bar.

I know plenty people who run 90/10's, no swaybar, and skinnies on a daily driver. I've heard no complaints from them. You just have to take sharp turns a little slower, no big deal. And you'll love the weight transfer from them at the track too.
It's about driver experience and how well you can handle it.
I say go for it.
