Wow. People know that exists? I was beginning to think I wrote all of that for nothing.

But yes, we need to know what car and what budget you are working with. What you do with the car and what you are looking to achieve by changing your suspension would also help us advise you.

 

sorry guys I feel like an idiot after I read that reply from targa. Well basically my car is going to be a DD and a weekend drag car till I do all my engine mods. It just sucks cause every times get cash saved up I run into snags like my struts needing to be replaced. Anyways I found out my front left strut and rear right strut are going bad so I just wanted to get a full coilover setup since they were going to be put in after my engine setup is done. As of now my budget is about 6-700 and I'm looking for a coilover kit. Like I said its gonna be a dd/ weekend drag car no autocross. I have a 2000 civic si and ya I think I covered everything. Hope that makes it easier for u guys and again I'm sorry for not checking the FAQ

No worries about not reading it. No one does. But we did need the additional info before anyone can provide a meaningful answer.

I have no experience with FWD drag cars, so I can't comment on suspension advice for them too much.

You'll want a stiff rear, to prevent squat, and minimal front camber for launch traction. Unfortunately, the stiff rear will make the daily ride quality suffer, and the front camber kit to allow near 0 camber for drag launching will reduce available front suspension travel necessitating stiffer springs and reduced cornering capability.

In that price range, you'll have rather limited selections. Might want to save up a bit more, so you can go with the tried and true Koni and GC combination. I'm sure a phone call to GC will help determine appropriate spring rates for you. If you don't want to save up, then I suppose contact PIC Performance and ask about which of their setups would be best for you.
