Default Suspension for the strip?

I have been looking at some different suspension set ups and i cant really find much on what has been working well for people. I wish i had the money to drop on omni but i dont. does anybody have any suggestions on what springs i should use for the strip. the struts i have in mind are illuminas. the car is a 91 crx si, and my budget is around $250. thanks in advance.

You may want to check with the guys at The Progress Group. I know they work with Bisi and some other drag racers.

what spring rates do you all run? I have ground controls with springs for autocross but id like to invest in a set of drag springs as well.

I'd like to know as well cause I'm not sure exactly what I want. I don't mind a rough ride but I don't want to get the **** shook out of me because of the roads here, but I also don't want the *** of my car to squat so bad when I launch and shift when I'm racing.

thats a bad *** setup. and my cheapass bought the progress setup, and i am determined to make it work. BUT the strange setup, is what 16way compression and 16 way rebound? i know both are adjustable cant remember the total numbers. but if the progress setup i have fails, i am goin with that setup.

..Yes sir, 16 way dampening and 16 way rebound. This is one badass setup for sure.. Mikey, you could always sell the progress setup in the off season, and step it up for the 07' season. -something to think about
