Anyone testes Skunk2 Racing drag launch kit? Is it worth 350$? Is it really useful on 1/4 mile?

 

better go with full coilovers

 

i think its the offered spring rate that helps. i'd imagine the drag launch kit is better suited for drag racing then any available coilovers.

 

I have no complain about the drag launch kit. The only thing is that they are too stiff for a daily driver. I guess the warning label was right, "Not for use on highway".

It is good for drag use only. Use it with a set of Koni shocks and its pretty much good to go.

Where did you see it at for 350?? That's a bit high

 

how bad is it on the highway? just uncomfortable? or undrivable?

Just uncomfortable, especially on long drives it beats the **** out of you. I also have mine on kyb agx on #4(stiff), that might add a little more.

 

did it make a big difference in launching? how about 1/4 times? i can deal with discomfort.

Best 60ft. i hit so far is a 1.67 and I run the skunk2 drag launch kit with KYB AGX all around.

 

ive seen good stuff done with either the skunk or omni drag setups
but yeah koni's and skunks are cheap and easy

Best 60ft I hit was also a 1.67 with the Skunk2 rear springs and I'm on Tockio Blues the cheapo struts. I drive on them every day....... I don't find them that bad on the street. Rob

 

1.67 is badass. what size and kind of tires? DRs? slicks? etc. wow, looks like its time for me to get a set. i have an h22 in my car though, should i go with the EG kit or the integra kit? or is it all the same? lol

 

i got a 1.72 60' with these coilovers with stock shocks in the rear turbo car at ~450whp and 24.5" slicks. as far as streetability dont expect to be able to take turns crazy fast bc you def feel the bumps. Good compromise to me though...

I use 22/8/13 M&H slicks launch 7500. Rob

 

with tohse spring how much room you got up front for slicks?. i was thinking about running the rears and just get some ground control coilover sleeves up front

 

You can also do the same thing with ground control coilovers. They use Eibach springs, and you can call and order any spring rate you want.

 

cool thanks for the info

 

Best 60' for me also was a 1.67 with Skunk2 Drag launch rears 900 lb/in and KYB AGX set at full stiff, in my heavier 00 Si Coupe it wasn't that bad on the street IMO even at FULL STIFF for the KYBs all the time

 

damn i pulled a 1.67 on the regular coilovers with agx shocks up front, stock in rear... i would think the drag lauh would be better...

get em and let us know.

 

you are all running alot faster times then i plan on with my current setup, but hopefully i can pull something decent off. any suggestions as to where to buy the parts?

 

yea these coilovers really beat the hell out of you i just installed them this pass weekend o man is it a bumpy ride but helps out a good bit in launching though

 

Hehe. I'm going to try these on my dd, but I have a feeling I will be swapping them out pretty quick Roads here are shitty.

 

i run ss tein with 1000 lbs in the rear 1.7 sixty foots

 

Just hooked a 1.63 60ft on the Skunk2 drag springs. Rob
