I'm trying to figure out which suspension to go with, it's for a 600whp civic drag car. Which coilover setup should I go with? I don't have wheelie bars, but I will be getting some soon. Here are the coilover setups I was debating on: Strange eng. setup/ Tein SS/ or Omni drag setup? Also what spring rate are you guys running for the front?TIA

 

With no wheelie bars you need a very stiff spring around 950# and with wheelie bars very light, 150# or so. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Which strut would you suggest I go with and any suggestions for the fornt spring rate?

If you are building a full drag setup vehicle, then go with Strange suspension. Bar none the best for drag racing, but its bank.

TEIN SS in my opinion might be too soft... 6kg/4kg

OmniPower has a rear drag setup that has 1K spring rate for the rear. You can use there sport version for the front. This may also be a better option pricing wise and should work really well.

 

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone have experience with the strange or the omnipower coilovers (likes/dislikes) ?

 

The omni power coilovers are nice. I went with the drag coilovers in the rear and the eg street fronts.

 

I think one of the guys from Rage Performance uses Omnipower coilovers on one of his cars. His username is RagedZine I think. I'd PM him and ask him about them.

I personally don't use them but i spoke to ken of ken chassis and he said he put the strange coilovers on Angela's civic

 

thanks for all the replies, I ended up going with the strange setup.

 

Good choice, hope you got the double adjustables.

What spring rate would be best on the front with a strange shock and wheelie bars?

 

progress drag setup.

 

I hear the OMNI drag setup works really well and is not that expensive.

I personally run Ground Control Coilovers (custom spring rates both front & rear) with Tokico adjustables.

.....yes Sir.

 

for now i am goin with the progress, but i will try the strange next season.

 

So what kind of spring rate are people running on the front with wheelie bars?

 

I run JIC front and rear.

 

I'm running skunk2 drags with tokico adjustables. I bought these a long time ago back before Omni's were around. If i was gonna get a set of coilovers now. i'd go with the Omni drags with the upgraded strut mounts.

Id go with Omni Powers full setup--which i have for sale ;- ) -Only made three passes and nailed some 1.6x 60 fts- Omni powers wont let you down!

 

My best 60 with the strange setup so far is a 1.66 with no wheelie bars. That was the 5th pass, so I'm still trying to dial in the suspension.

nothings wrong with the Skunks but for the price of a set of skunk2 coilovers and a set of tokico struts the price would be about the same as a set of omni's full coilovers.
