I am planning on getting H&R race springs and Tokico 5 way adjustable struts (I love the twisties) but the question comes in when I am at the strip will putting the struts down to 1 for launching do anything with such a high spring rate.

In summery which (springs or struts) lets you transfer the weight.

Thanks for any info. -Kevin

Putting it on 1 will help but it isn't going to transfer all that great. Buy you a set of slicks or drag radials is about the only way that you will get it to hook up.

So you think the high spring rate will undermine the "soft" settings of the springs. I do plan on getting a set of drag radials in the future but since I drive on the street everyday and only go to the track a couple time a month, at the most, I would rather have it handle nice and clean. Thanks for the feed back.
