Ok, would 10/90's make for a good daily driver at all lol or would I just be bouncing around to much?

90/10 shocks don't drive well on the street.

I ran them on my GTO for 6 years but I didnt have far to drive to work. The car didnt bounce but dont try to play road racer. I also removed the sway bar.

Stock shocks are 10/90. I run 90/10's on the front(66GTO) and 50/50 on the back and it is not that bad.-JimT

There is a reason that 10/90's are used at the track. Too many times people buy race parts (double-pumper carbs, 10/90 shocks, headers, skinny front tires) then they are upset that the car handles like a grain truck, and leaves them deaf. If you plan on doing double duty, get good at trackside/weekend swaps, and use the right parts for the right reason. There, I've spent my 2 cents.
