Good suspension setup for Drag racing and autox?
So I know this is probably a dumb question, and I'm already wearing my flame suit.
But what I was wondering is, say I wanted to build a boosted car for drag racing, but then wanted to turn the boost down for a autox event, could I conceivably, put together a suspension that could handle both, just with switching to an appropriate tire for each event?
Thanks for answers in advance.

Go progess cs2. 595 shipped. They have a 350f/500r spring rate. I run them and they r worth every penny.

And you could certainly run one suspension for both, but it will be optimal for neither venue.

Like tunernoob said, you could definitely do it, but it wont be the BEST for either drag or autox. It will be above average at best because the spring rates and shock valving needed for both are very different. I suggest finding the best drag setup for your vehicle, best auto-x setup, and then find a happy medium and build your suspension with that.

from what ive seen thus far as suspension goes there very far from in between.
2 completly diferent animals. yes you may find a happy medium but really you will not succeed in either with a medium.
