who do i pick for coil overs and anti roll bar?

I need help. Idk whose better to go with PA racng or spohn or bmr for the front end coil over kit. this is for my drag car. I need the best possible launch so nothing about handling matters on whose better. they also talked about spring rate. Idk what spring to pick either. Like what do i look for? PA racing is only 299 but spohn and bmr are like 500+ bux. WHY?

Also is anyone running the competiton engieering antiroll bar? any good rviews?

spohn and bmr include new fabricated strut mounts, and spohn includes reinforcement plates for the strut towers as well.

pa is just the coil-over sleeves and maybe a solid insert for the factory strut mounts.

I would go spohn or bmr.

im sure the parts will last just fine, however the stock strut mounts and towers will take a beating and possibly fail at a inopportune time.

I have the spohn front coil over kit with lakewood 90/10's. I must say that the spohn kit it pretty nice and I like th reinforcement plate that it comes with.

Wolfe weld in anti roll is the way to go for drag only applications.
