Title: Re: Running 90/10 Shocks on the street..? Post by: mg on August 27, 2011, 01:47:08 am you'll have 90% compression and only 10% rebound.
A good front shock for weight transfer but little else. No advantage to have full (90) compression and but no (10) rebound over pot holes. I'd stick with a stock valved oil shock closer to 50/50. For cornering the best shock is calibrated to your spring rate. if you add stiffer springs, adjust shock to reduce compression and add rebound control. Softer spring , more compression less rebound. :) Title: Re: Running 90/10 Shocks on the street..? Post by: Rick Meredith on August 27, 2011, 01:58:58 am Ohh Nooo.....

Post by: Troy Palmer on August 27, 2011, 04:25:42 am CE's 90/10 were designed for a v8 car, so in a aircooled vw it's more like a 60/40- not bad on the street. If your going to run them on the strip- you will need to drill them out and replace with a light weight oil if you want any advantage.
Same shocks drilled and filled with 10w oil in my 1960 1950 lbs bug! http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=1w3psbox8L4 Troy Palmer Title: Re: Running 90/10 Shocks on the street..? Post by: Dan Mazur on August 27, 2011, 05:41:15 am Besides, you're too old to be driving that way!!!

Title: Re: Running 90/10 Shocks on the street..? Post by: H67bug on August 27, 2011, 09:52:02 am I ran with 90/10 on the street for a while. If there were a few bumps or ripples in the road close together I could not keep my feet on the peddles due to the bouncing around.
Now run adjustable Spax which are fine. On the track I only run 13.1-13.5 though...you may be running a lot faster. Title: Re: Running 90/10 Shocks on the street..? Post by: Cheesepanzer on August 28, 2011, 00:41:25 am The CE 90/10's are intended for old Mopar's. I've run them on the street for a while and never noticed any ill affects from the occasional pot hole on the rough roads up here in Wisconsin. They do transfer better than stock oil shocks, and do aid in controlling wheel-spin on the street. The front end lifts and stays up longer to plant the rear tires and limit the radials from spinning forever. ;D
