Default drag struts 90/10???

Need some help/advise guys. I have a 99trans am. I am wanting to put 90/10 drag struts on the front so i can pull the wheels. I have all stock suspension right now. I am so close to pulling the wheels. I figured if I just changed those it should help. I currently run 11.9 and have nitto drags. My question is has anyone installed 90/10 drag struts. If so where can I get them for my car. How much? And can I install them myself and how much work is involved.

Take the sway bar off first, if you haven't already, it'll help a bunch. Struts are not very hard to change, but it really helps if you have a impact to take the top nut loose.

Install Hal's or Strange Double adjustable and set the Rebound soft (2 clicks)and compression stiff (22 clicks) and you will have a 90/10. Then you can just adjust them back to what works best on the street. That is what I did and it works great.
