Lakewood Street/Strip Drag Shocks

Lakewood Street/Strip Drag Shocks represent decades of drag race chassis and suspension engineering, purpose-built for enthusiasts who demand consistent, repeatable performance at the strip without sacrificing everyday street drivability. Available in multiple valving configurations for both front and rear applications, each variant is engineered to match specific power levels, suspension setups, and performance goals — making this lineup one of the most versatile and proven drag shock offerings on the market.

Key Features:

• Drag-Tuned Multi-Stage Valving: Precisely calibrated damping characteristics deliver superior weight transfer that remains consistent pass after pass, with multi-stage valving providing increased stability and control through the mid-track
• Speed-Sensitive Performance: As vehicle speed increases, speed-sensitive valving automatically adjusts shock characteristics for a safer, more controlled run through the top end of the track
• Wheel Hop Reduction: Properly loads the rear wheels to prevent over-reaction and wheel hop, maximizing traction off the starting line
• Specially Formulated Hydraulic Fluid: Anti-foaming hydraulic oil resists fade and maintains consistent damping performance under repeated hard launches
• Chrome-Plated Piston Rods: Durable chrome plating resists wear and corrosion for long service life in demanding conditions
• Stock Location Mounting: Engineered to mount directly in the factory location without modification, simplifying bolt-on installation
• Rubber Travel Indicators Included: Rear shocks include rubber travel indicators to allow precise measurement of suspension travel during tuning sessions

Available Valving Series:

• 50/50 Rear: The best all-around choice for street/strip vehicles with leaf or coil springs — properly loads rear wheels and prevents wheel hop for daily-driven performance cars
• 70/30 Front/Rear: Ideal for medium to high horsepower vehicles running wide tires, or lower horsepower builds on slicks — improves handling when aggressive front-end lift is not required
• 90/10 Front: Maximum front-to-rear weight transfer for dedicated track applications — allows the front end to rise quickly at launch and settle smoothly down track for consistent elapsed times

Lakewood Industries, now part of the Holley Performance family, has been the benchmark in drag race suspension technology since the mid-1960s. The same exhaustive research and real-world testing that defines their industry-leading performance products is built into every drag shock they produce — delivering proven, quarter-mile-ready performance you can count on every time you stage up.
