One or the other man, Drag and Road racing require different suspensions AND tires.

ok so not 100% strictly track drag racing only, i mean im only goin to drag race it wont need to handle good for turns


i want a suspension thats great for drag racing, but is not full race so i will be able to take it out on the street when i want to

if thats what u want u will have a very rough ride on the street and handling will be worse that stock perhaps.

Skunk2 makes drag launch springs. I think omnipower might too.
