90/10 struts

[SS346]

Hi all, can you recommend someone that makes front 90/10 struts for vt?

Cheers

Try Penrith Wholesale Suspension. They can get anything like that.
Coreen Avenue.

I got a quote from Pedders a couple of weeks ago for 90/10s...1200 + fitting

What are 90 / 1o struts?

Heaps cheaper at Penrith Wholesale Rick. That sounds much more than i have heard.

They let the nose go up and stay up so you can maximize launch traction. They make a hell of a difference road and strip but you do loose a fiar bit of solid cornering ability.

I dont have 90-10s i have stock non FE2 struts and springs in the front and they do similar but not quite as extreme.

Im confused???? I thought they were just 90/10 springs (lighter and popped the front)?

The shocks can remain the same?

Nah mate, it is definitley the shocks.

They allow the front end to lift which assists in transferring weight to the rear end to increase your traction...

Have a read of this from www.carcraft.com:

"Drag-racing shocks are also referred to in a slightly different way than most other shocks. Often you will read references to rear shocks that are 50/50 or front shocks that are 90/10. Basically, these are references to the amount of force applied by the shock to resist movement. In the case of a 50/50 shock, the resistance is the same in both compression and rebound, while a 90/10 shock has nine times the resistance to compression than it does to rebound. The 90/10 is almost exclusively a front shock designed to extend (rebound) very easily and offer significant resistance to compression. This allows the front end of the car to rise very quickly and easily and then maintain that front-end rise throughout the entire run."

Thanks for that. Something i've wondered about. Knew what they did but not what they actually were,
