Shock, Strut help?

[blue46gt00]

Did a search and couldn't find anything. I want to setup my car to launch better and I was told to get 70/30 struts and 50/50 shocks. But I'm wondering what brand would be best? And how will this setup act on the street. Any help would be a great help.

70/30 is meaningless. Those numbers tell you almost nothing and it is impossible to compare any brands based on that. Your stock dampers might be 70/30.

That said, almost any peroformance "handling" damper will get you into the 12's with no problems and ride very nice on the street. Going a step further would be something like the Tokico Illumina 5-ways or D-specs that you could dial in at the track to optimize your launches and dial back up for a great street ride.

Moral of the story: Unless it's a track only car, get something that handles well and learn to launch it on the track.

I just got H&R sport springs and Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks and struts installed. Right now I have it set on 3 up front and 4 in the back havent changed it yet as I am waiting for the springs to fully drop. First impression of them is awesome, feels like it tightend up the car alot and it handles so much better now. I'm gonna try to turn them to 1 up front and 1 on the back as soon as the springs drop all the way and see how much it helps my launch. I dont have any complaints about either the HR sport springs or the Tokico's though.
