I put them (lakewoods) on my 94 when I go to the track. They
prevent that terrible wheel hop I used to get with good traction. I
had to use 1X2 wood shims in between the back mount and spring in
order to raise the front snubber to within 1/2 inch of the front
spring so that they work properly. Mr. Gaskets sells metal shims for
this purpose, but the wood works fine, and it was laying around.
