I have to disagree...OTS Koni Sports are valved for 600lb springs and are pretty pricey.

I was surprised to see that the Blox Drag coilovers are inexpensive and work rather well. My buddy Ismael uses these and cut 1.60 60' times pretty consistently. Spring rates are 12k up front and 18k in the rear. they work well if its strictly a drag car.

If you want good and cheap find some used ones. Other then that you will have to shell out some cash. Koni's, ground control and blox are fairly priced especally if you had money to put in to a car to need some good springs for drag racing. No need to cheap out on coil's and struts now.

not saying that but compared to stock i have heard the skunk2 drag sleeves and springs are stiff but nothing like custom spring rates open to any ideas though i know its an important part in drag racing so thats why i am open to any input


skunk2 drag springs and sleeves spring rates front 558 rear 1004 is that considerable better than stock?

That is way stiffer than stock. The Skunk stuff will work very well, how much are you looking at for the Skunk2 set up?

i got skunk2 suspenssion. definitely the best bang for the buck, i think i spent 700 on adjustable springs, shocks and LCA's, HUGE difference.

A lot of the coilover kits out there tend to have a higher spring rate up front and a lower in the rear. somewhere in the range of 500F 250R which really sucks for drag racing.

Having 1000Lb springs in the rear will help reduce "squat" under hard launches and shifts.
