Need some advice on drag struts. I'm looking to get a little better launch and figure that getting more weight on the rear tires is a good way to start. With that being said, what brand front drag struts do you guys recommend? What else could i do to transfer weight to the rear wheels off the line? Links to products would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Track only or street/strip?

if you want more weight transfer to the rear wheels, lighten the front end.. fiberglass hood, relocate the battery to trunk, tubular kmember and a-arms, coil overs, etc..

 

koni spa1s, They are adjustable.

 

But they're not designed for street use.

 

True, but by tightening them up they are usable. Skinnies with volkswagen tires aren,t either. But many of us drive them a lot on the street. U just need to pay more attention to what ur driving with. Skinnies, no front swaybar, racing struts, all can b used on the street, "BUT, YOU MUST DRIVE DIFFERENTLY"! Remember that all that stuff is for goin fast in a straight line. You can,t corner like a stocker. Been there tried that. Just have to b careful.

 

i modified my spindles to use a strange adjustable strut (fox mustang)
i was tired of noone offering a strut that was truely click of a **** adjustable for these year models, so i made the best of it.
installed strange 10 way shocks in the rear too (fox mustang)
