Omni actually now offers a street/drag kit where you get 6 coilovers. I forget what the spring rates are for the street, but know you get 4 mild coilovers for smooth driving on the street and then you also get 2 1600lb spring rate coilovers that you can switch over to for the track. Might be something that you look into.

YUP! But the Drag Rears are 1004 lb/in rears, you have a choice of your fronts either 10k or 12k front I have sold many sets with not one compaint yet I plan to run these in my own Drag Car this year as well as Full Race traction bars. Look for low 1.6 and high 1.5s but 1.4s may not be obtainable without wheelie bars fyi

haha it takes a whole lot more then some suspension to get into the 1.5's. As always it is about the combination. Unless you want to change out ur suspension between street/track driving you are going to have to give up something in one or the other. It's either weight transfer at the track or decent response on the street. You can't have both. I drive 1000lb rears on the street once in awhile and about 5-10 miles into it it gets real old. good luck & 1.4's are pretty much a dream for any manually shifted fwd car w/ out wheelie bars.

Don't worry about it, I've seen many shops come and go around here. Beeyond really has Milwaukee on lock down ever since Hyperformance moved out.

BTW, the 7k rpm was the launch rpm if you want to cut 1.5 60's.
