Can you honestly drive with the omni drag coils on the street? I seen a few cars on the return lane bouncing alot with that setup.

Sure you can, but it won't be comfortable. Gotta give up something.

 

why will driving it on the street be uncomfortable?

 

Strange Engineering double adjustable's w/ custom rate (depending on ap.) Eibach ERS springs

Typically, drag suspension will be very stiff (spring rates). and have very little shock travel. This means that you will feel every bump in the road.

I'm running Skunk2 Coilovers with a 900# spring in the back. The previous owner put this in, so I guess we'll see how they work.

 

It's all about finding the right spring rates for the application.

I personally wouldn't wanna do anything on the street at high speeds w/ a drag set up. the rear is too sensitive and it oversteers too hard. making a high speed manuver on a bumpy surface gives you a pretty good chance of losing the rear, it's happened to me before. On a car that's truly street driven and street raced, i'd go w/ the omni streets.(12k/10k) that way you get a decently stiff spring rate on there while maintaining some balance in the chassis.

If the purpose of ur street car is #'s on the track and you have no issue w/ the comfort then go w/ the drag rates.(12k/18k)

 

I'm having the same issue, I'm building an EG and I'm not sure about what suspension I'm going with. The car si going to be a weekend car so I'm not looking for comfort but I want something I can drive hard on the street too.

 

thanks all, yea its mainly just street and daily driven.

 

yeah my set up is omni 10k/12k its good for a daily driven car in chicago for now wanna up grade to 18k later do for break to the 9's next year

 

all of our customer cars full full coilover like F2, Omni , Skunk2 with 1000lbs springs in the rear on the street. not uncommon now adays..

We i was street racing 12 years ago i had solid pipes...in the back how that was bouncy and dangerous

 

ahh, my best 60' is 1.60 on stock shocks and junk coil overs.
