Competition engineering is a good product

90/10 , 70/30 refers to rebound & compression rates

Competition Engineering is one of the most respected names in aftermarket suspension components.

90/10 strut rates are for racing ONLY, they could allow a loss of control on street cars. They have only one purpose, to allow as much front end lift as possible so the flip side is there will be a loss in handling.
70/30 is the preferred strut rate for those into drag racing but want to drive it on the street. Street handling is acceptable, but it's NOT meant for corner carving either.
For the rear shocks, you want the 50/50 rate.

Competition engineering is one of the top suspension companies out there. Ladder bar system, frame connectors, wheelie bars, Axle housings...etc. Really good quality I sell it day and night. Their shocks are great just like they explained.
