Whats the difference between the 90/10, 70/30, 50/50, struts and shocks referring to the Lakewood Drag struts and shocks.

first number is rebound, second number is compression

You got it backward, first number is compression and second is extension (rebound) in percentage of force required.

90/10s lift the front end very easily but let it down slowly, car handles like crap. but transfers weight better which gives you better traction.
90/10=good for drag racing, bad for road racing.
70/30 half asses both
50/50 doesn't transfer weight well at all but the car handles better
