Spring Question

[snoboardcore]

Hey my car is going to be a track/street car more track though. What would you guys recomend for a good drag/street spring?

i would look in to just drag springs. also good to look into drag shocks too!

I'm using the Eibach drag launch kit in my car with lakewood 70/30 struts in the front, and Tokico adjustable shocks in the rear. It drives great on the steet, and there was a noticable improvement in traction as well. If you want to get the most out of a set of drag springs, you really need to remove your front sway bar. The downside of this is that you lose a lot of your ability to take corners, due to increased body roll. The up side is you greatly increase weight transfer to the rear wheels.

Mike makes a good point about the sway bar. It is a easy thing to remove and reinstall. only 4 bolts and 2 link bars. I have been told that for drag racing you can just undo the driverside link bar and besides the weight saved by removing it it works just aswell as removing. I don't have a drag racing suspension set up at all. I have Ford Racing progressive springs and KYB struts and shocks. Off the juice i get 1.8 to 1.7 sixty foot times on it i get 1.6's mind you i do use slicks.
