Okay, after doing a large search a few million times, I've come to the conclusion that Koni Yellow's are a fairly good lineup for just about everything you throw at it.. the question is - would these also be a sound option for a car geared towards drag racing and not necessarily handling/cornering characteristics considering they are adjustable? I just need a direction because I've replaced everything else EXCEPT my suspension components, and I would really like to get that taken care of before this next semester hits like a ton of bricks. Suspension modification is new to me, so I'd like to just do it right the first time obviously.

Opinions? My budget is around the $1,000 mark (or I'd like to keep it around there, at least). Feasible?

 

Thats one thing Im not really sure about. Im not sure Konis are as effective at getting the weight transferred as a set of drag shocks would be.

 

If the car is going to be for mainly drag racing, Konis are not going to be the right choice.

With that $1,000 are you looking to do just the shocks and struts or all of your suspension? Personally, I do not know of a way to get your suspension set up with aftermarket parts for that price. You will be bale to weld up your PHB and LCAs to give it a litte more reinforcement, but to go and redo all of the components that people normally buy will run you more than $1K

 

I meant just the struts and springs because mine have every bit of it's entire life on them. The other stuff I'm aware about, and they range from $300-750 depending on the part. So - $1,000 on struts/springs.


- Actually, I did a little digging on Jegs. Looks like Lakewood makes some components. Fantastic. Anyone here used a set from them?
