I've been searching for a while and can't find my answer. I would like to hear some opinions. My car is a 2001 integra gsr. Strictly sfwd drag car won't see any street use. How would these two coilovers compare to each other? I'm thinking 12k front and 18k rear spring rates in either one. Any input would be great. Thanks

ive been running pic for the past 2 years (12kf 18kr) and besides amr or strange they are the best drag coil in my opinion. a little too stiff for the street though so if your in the market for an almost new set of pic selects shoot me a pm id be happy to sell them.

There is not a single part made by Blox, that isn't made better by someone else.

PIC based on quality and customer service

Blox is more of a D2/Ksport they aren't even in the same league as PIC/AMR/Strange

You might be able to get the Blox for cheaper but "it's always cheaper to do it right the first time"

I agree but.......from my understanding the Blox drag coilover is a copy of the old school Omni drag coilover which i remember was a very solid drag suspension for the money. But yes of course the PIC is superior

What are your opinions on koni and gc

none of those you mentioned will work for a drag car... those are designed for street cars in mind... being able to to stiffen up a street car is attainable inexpensively with a single adjustable shock and it puts a smile on the owners face... on a drag strip things change... a double adjustable shock becomes neccesary... what this allows you to do is independently adjust the compression (bump) and the rebound (extension)... you can NOT do this with single adjustable "street car" shock... ill make a long story short... the most violent act upon the suspension is when the car launches from the line... in the front more often than not a partially deflated tires exists... when the car launches, the tire violently expands... bringing the suspension up into the chassis as a counteraction... with a stiff spring or single adjustable street shock the chassis is going to do the same thing; violently go up... and then it will normally start bouncing to some degree... this needs to be alleviated... here is where the double adjustable shock becomes neccesary... the compression needs to be on a SOFT setting... i repeat; SOFT setting... what this does is when the tire violently expands at launch; the shock allows it to compress into the chassis... dont fight it! let it absorb into the chassis! now once the shock is compressed; we want the it to extend back out as SLOW AS POSSIBLE! thus alleviating "bouncing"... this is done with a STIFF rebound setting... a single adjustable shock is simply not capable of this... mate this with proper springs for the vehicle and the suspension now works in the fashion you would like it to for the drag strip...

with that being said... most suspension available for street cars are single adjustable...(a threaded lower shock purch does not make it a double adjustable shock)... double adjustable stuff is available from manufacturers like strange, penske, moton, among others... strange is the most budget minded though and directly geared towards drag racing being only available in double adjustable... the internal valving and spring selection becomes key!

Great post. You broke it down to make a lot of sense.
