i am switchng over from autocross to drag racing and need to redo my suspension... what is that right shock/struts to get??

i was thinking either lakewood or QA1(HAL) shocks and struts, all 90/10 or 70/30 in the rear and 90/10 in the front. any suggestions.. also, what kidn fo springs?

 

Strip only or street/strip?

 

well.. ill sa strip only cuase i only take the car out to the car show 2-3 times a month. and its only 20 miles or so round trip.. so the car doesnt get driven alot on the street.

 

the eibach drag launch springs work nice.

i run them in the rear, couldnt get the fronts on in time.

i run lakewood, 70/30 front drag struts, and 50/50 rear drag shocks.

i might try 90/10's later on in the front, i bet they really work nicely.

 

If it's strip only then some cheap Lakewood 90/10 struts in the front. Rear drag shocks are nice but unless you're into some serious chassis tuning, stock rear shocks are fine.

If you want to spend some money on better drag struts then buy Koni SPA1.

I use V6 springs front and rear and they work fine for me. I also have the Koni SPA1 struts and rear shocks but have never played with any of the adjustments. I think they're still on the softest settings.

 

I use Moroso trick front springs (250 lb/in rate) with 90/10 Lakewood drag struts to help lift the front end on initial launch, which transfers weight to the rear tires for traction. I also have Global West's Del-A-lum bushings installed in the control arms and the front sway bar has been removed so the suspension moves freely. I also drive with this combo on the street (at times) without any real concerns, but you can forget about carving any corners with this set-up.
