90/10 drag struts on the street?

How many of you guys run 90/10 struts on the street? My car is mostly going to be a weekend warrior with some trips down the strip just wondering if I should take out the KYB's in favor of some weight transfer with some 90/10's.

Some members posted on the Drag Racing and Autocross board are running them, some with Moroso trick front springs, no less. IIRC, they are not so bad. Try a and maybe you can read up on it. I know IHI had mentioned it once or twice.

I along with everyone I race with won't even run them on a drag race only car. Do you want air under the car while going down the track? Because the 90/10's don't settle back down, which keeps the front of the car high, thus allowing more air under it, making it more unstable. They also tend to "float" around alot under deceleration.
- How about tuning the suspension/shifting some weight and improving your 60' the right way?

note: the slowest car I'm talking about is my 11.7X bird. But, slower than that doesn't cut it for me. - My old man's elcamino tow truck ran 11.7's.....
