Default Whats a good choice for suspension and LCA's for Drag racing

Got a 1990 Integra and just wanted to no what would be a good choice ??
For Lower Control Arms what is a recommended choice??
As of right now i got Koni in the back dont know exact model, and kybs in the front with sum dusty coilovers.
the Koni have nuespeed race spring but i want something that will make it sit up higher in the back. What kind of nonadjustable springs can i use for that purpose?
or should i just buy some new shocks??

Just dont run Blox LCA's, they are crap..

After having them on my car for not even a year the lower bushings are already cracking..

Function 7 makes a nice set of LCA's..


I went with Progress Suspension which are excellent!

backorder for 6wks, ha tell me where. I called them a few weeks ago and they said there not talking any orders.

That they were behind for a couple of months.

I went with function/form drag suspension with 18k rear and 12k front!

I know dropzone doesnt exactly have a good name but i have the Dropzone full coilover on the race car and their very nice, very similar to the omni drag coilover for a little cheaper.

No you don't. You may think you do, but you don't. Keep the CG as low as possible to minimize weight transfer.

If you want something that will last a long time without having to worry about the bushings "rotting" away.... the MFactory LCA's are the way to go ... being a drag racer myself... the last thing I want to worry about when I'm on the track or in the pits is if my LCA's okay...

I just switched to PIC and watched a few videos from different angles , the car does not sag at all and i found these really usufull for drag doto the adjustments. As for city driving im not to much of a fan the ride isnt the best.

all and all wicked suspension

can you please elaborate? wondering about your point of view on this.

i would think stiffer rear springs and a slightly higher ride height would tend to keep the weight transfer to a minimum and thus keep the weight on the front wheels aiding traction.

Well you would think so, but the Front end will try to raise up to match the rear end. Thus unloading the tires, caues all the weight it trying to transfer back. With the rear slightly lower or even with the front end, the weight doesn't transfer as much.

The new Function 7 LCA's come standard with spherical bearings, so that is always a plus.
