My question is very simple, but it can have many answers. Basically what I would like to know is if there is a specific suspension for drag racing. I know that Eibach has some springs that are suposedly good for lunching the car, but I am really looking for something drag racing specific with full adjustability. I am currently running Tein suspension and it is amazing for circuit racing, but I woul really like to find somthing that would be fully adjustable, read hight and dumpening adjustable, for drag racing. Does anyone know of such a setup or a company that produces such a thing.
Thnaks.

 

a street car or all out drag racing car ?

either way ground control has what you need.

I am building a street car. I am just really disapointed that anyone can go to a performance shop and get of the shelf Drag suspension for a Mustang or Camaro, but there is really nothing for Hondas. I am building a turbo GSR in my civic, hopefully it will put down around 400-450whp and I know I will have issues with putting this power to the ground. I will be going with the z10 bars, but I know the suspension should be adaped for drag racing as well. Any ideas on what I should use???? I am currently running Tein setup, would it be posible to order some drag racing specific springs for them and go from there??? I want mid 11s on the street, if it is possible.

Thanks for any help.

Is there any one running mid to low 11's on the street, and that is with street legal sliks?

 

the best suspension would be the Koni/Ground Control combo ... the wheelie bars is a must for ideal 60' ... I personally never used the wheelie bars and was fine with koni/GC combo .... cut consistent 1.58 to 1.61 60' times with KAAZ LSD.

good luck

Is this in your street trim??? What tires were you running to get 1.58 60???

 

had to be slicks

 

Courtney Greene ran an 11.50 on Drag radials with a 2.0 60' and 130 trap speed. I think he is just using skunk 2's setup for springs. H&R has a coil-over setup and you can order drag rear 900lbers for a reasonable price.

 

i replied to a similar post before, i'm not sure if it was you or not. As far as my suspension, z10, ground controls with custom spring rate and kyb adjustable shocks(prefer the koni, but kyb was much cheaper). If this is a daily driver i wouldn't recommend only going around 700lbs in the rear and 400lbs up front for the springs.

 

Yes, this is the same post. It has been locked for some reason in the civic forum. Anyways thank you for your help.

Based on what you are saying I could just order some 700lbs springs for my rear Teins and go from there is that correct???

 

yea, you can go harder if you want, like 900lbs. The problem with that is, it's gonna be real stiff and around turns at speed if you hit a bump your rear end could slide out. So i just suggest 7-800lbs in the rear and that should help alot.

 

Thanks for your help.
