Lakewood Street/Strip Drag Shocks Front

Lakewood Industries

Safety has been Lakewood's number 1 priority from the day legendary Top Fuel racer and chassis builder "Gentleman Joe" Schubeck formed the company outside Cleveland in Lakewood, Ohio. From those earliest days in the mid-1960s, right through today, Lakewood, now part of Holley Performance, has designed and manufactured the finest bellhousings, suspension components, and chassis components available. The same exhaustive research and comprehensive testing into our industry-leading bellhousings are built into every drag shock, traction bar, driveshaft loop, and chassis component we make.

Product Line

Currently, Lakewood is a significant supporter of IHRA and UMTR racing events and draws on a wealth of engineering talent from being part of the Prestolite Performance group. As our customers do in their reviews, you will find that Lakewood auto parts provide sophisticated ride comfort, long-lasting reliability, and OEM quality fit while delivering the handling improvements you expect after dropping your suspension.

Lakewood offers high-quality shock absorbers and struts purpose-built for many different levels of driving. For those who use their vehicles on the drag strip only, “90/10” front shock absorbers and struts are designed so that 90% of their resistance is applied to compression, and only 10% goes to rebound. That translates to virtually no upward resistance, so your vehicle’s front end rises immediately to the fullest position. It stays longer because the 90% compression factor causes the front to drop extremely slowly as you make your way down the track.

For heavy-duty launches, Lakewood offers traction bars for rear- and front-wheel-drive vehicles. The G-Sport Pro Traction Bar features a cross brace mount from left to right that uses tow hook locations on the vehicle frame for front-wheel drive vehicles. Two radius bars run from the center of the cross bar to mount at each front control arm base. They’re designed with relocated pivot points that use existing axle torque pressure to lift the vehicle chassis upward while forcing rear wheels downward under acceleration. Tires make firmer contact with the pavement to enhance grip off the line, reduce wheel hop, and provide a much faster straight line launch. They’re even legal for NHRA stock eliminator classes when bolted on. Competition Traction Bars are Lakewood’s strongest traction bars for serious track use, built for high-powered competition vehicles that aren’t driven on the street. An optional J-bolt kit (sold separately) builds on the effectiveness of these traction bars for even more performance. Street/Strip Traction Bars allow adjustments for use on the street and the track. And if you’re interested in traction bars that provide show car looks, a Universal Street/Strip version offers a choice of chrome plating, yellow powder coat, or black powder-coat finishes.
