Help me with a street/strip suspension.

I currently have Nitto 555R drag radials and my front sway bar removed. I'm looking for some shocks and springs for drag racing, but this car is a daily driver. What should I do?

think i'd go more with a adjustable torque arm and LCA brackets then worry about shocks. an air bag may also help. if you drive it every day you're going to be limited to only making some changes or running some parts.

my shocks are shot to hell and my springs sag horribly so they have to go anyways.

Sounds like you need a visit from an eibach drag launch kit, and if you want new shocks as far as price and performance I would go with lakewood 50/50 rear shocks. Should be fine for the street.

I would just get stock replacement springs for the rear. They should be fine for launching. And like ede said, an air bag might be useful.

I said eibach drag launch because they are barely softer than stock but come with an air bag.

Ah, I didn't know that. Sorry about that.
Sounds like a cool part. I'll have to look into those.
