I use to know what the defination was but I don't remember now
I can tell you though that a set of 90/10 struts will let the front end lift with little or no resistence from the struts, and lots of resistence when it trys to settle down. This keeps the weight on the rear tires faster and longer.
70/30 struts do the same thing only not as much as a set of 90/10 will do. They make your car more streetable.
50/50 shocks have equal resistence in both directions.

For what it's worth... I have a set of 90/10 up front, and some 50/50 out back. It drives fine on the street just as long as you don't go hauling around a bumpy corner. But then again everthing I just said may be false so i would get another opinion.
