Default Eibach or Skunk 2 drag launch coils.

We've got this little competition with the local guys, its a d series challenge. Instead of thinking about making a buttload of HP i thought about how i would put it to the ground. We are limited to using a max width of 225 drag radials. Curious to see what your opinions were about each or both if you have used them. Please post from personal experience not what you "heard." thanks in advance.

I use the Eibach ERS springs in the rear, very stiff (800lb) with KYB AGX's. I think it's a decent combination for the price. I've hit 1.7x 60's with this set-up (on slicks though).

....STRANGE engineering full coilover double adjustables is number one for drag suspension. you will get some sick low 60fts. with this setup dialed in.

Omni's are definetly good for the money. You can get a combined front and rear suspension set from them. Front regular coilovers and rear drag coilovers.

Skunk2 is also good for the money. They offer wide variety of spring rates that you can use. They come in a set of 4.

Strange Engineering is definetly good for the money. I know a couple people running them in the SFWD and Turbo 4 and been cutting good 60fts on them.
