I was wondering what the serious mustang drag racers are running for rear coil springs. I run mid to low tens with 1.4 to 1.5 60 foots and have been running the stock coil springs from my 89 lx but they have sagged too much from all the abuse i have given them and age so i was wondering what is every one using? I have looked into rear suspension setup and there is just sooo many parts out there for these cars... And i know there are guys out there running the stock suspensions and hooking very well...Do i just replace the springs with stockers or trick springs, or coil overs? Has anyone done some rear suspension testing?

Thanks
Dan

it just matters on what u want to spend for a 10 sec car u would spend alot of money to to do a coil over set up. i would add a drag spring and call it good.

putting different springs in your car will help it stick better, remember a perfect drag car when you launch you shouldnt have to touch the wheel the whole time down the track(pretty much impossible but this is what to try to achieve.) buying some adjustable coil over would be your best bet
