Re: spring help please
Pick what your favorite is and start there. Drag racing requires softer suspension, street racing is illegal so don't worry about that and road racing requires a stiff suspension. So maybe buy more cars so that you can have everything on one key ring
Re: spring help please
Well, there is no simple answer to this. You can't really excel at both too much without making a sacrifice with one or the other....ultimately, you sacrifice both.
The go-to setup on a Third Gen are the Bilsteins and Koni struts/shocks. The Koni setup will offer adjustability, so you'll be able to better dial the suspension in for what you're looking to do.
A drag setup will want an entirely different combo than something that will handle. It sounds like you're wanting to drag race a bit more in a straight line than you want to handle. If that's the case, I would recommend a drag setup with our street sway bars. QA1 offers adjustable front/rear struts and shocks for the car that are really more designed for drag. They can be adjusted to be a bit more compliant for street use and with our sway the car should feel comfortable through corners.
Let me know more about your goals and priorities.
Thanks,
Kevin
