Default need opinions on suspension

I thought about posting in the suspension forum, but I thought I would get better answers here.

Its an EG with a lsv-t. Its got suspension bushings. I plan to be at the track regularly and drive it on the street regularly. Its not a DD. I dont care about a harsh ride as long as it doesnt crack my windshield. I plan on getting it caged after the build is done, and a set of traction bars is in the near future.

Whats the best bang for the buck strut/spring/coilover that will help me to reduce my 60fts? I have used several different springs and struts in the past, but I have never done a setup for a mainly drag car before. I would like to keep it around 1000$ if at all possible. (less than that never hurts either). I guess I just want to know if it is worth the extra cash to buy a set of drag coilovers vs. a good strut/spring combo for half the price.

Progress is very high quality stuff, and it works wonders.

They offer a few off the shelf options, but more importantly Joey and Ed can hook you up with the proper setup for YOUR car directly. A few guys have been going through them over the last few months and they are enjoying their cars much more now

If you'd like any other info please feel free to PM me, I can help ya out with contact info and specifics if you'd like.

Joey and Ed at Progress are really helpful and easy to work with. I just installed my new coilovers and the quality of the parts are top notch.

bang for the buck, ill say omni, but in terms of c/s, joey and ed at progress, get the nod hands down. i went 10.7 with their shelf kit. and they said i was asking alot out of the the shocks.

last year i got the shocks revalved and some 1000lb springs, and 450s for the front. the car is nasty.

progress auto all the way.

Omni for the guys who want to throw something in and go. Strange for the guys who want to tune the chassis.
