Default Drag suspension setup??

I needed some advice on a decent setup for my EG hatch.trying to stay within budget
I was thinking of going with blox drag coilovers
blox lca, camber kits, and toe kits
should i run rear spherical bearings as well??
I know a lot of ppl say that blox is crap but its also within my budget some insight would be appreciated

I forgot to mention that I currently have a traction bar already and was thinking of going to go with an ASR subframe brace and sway bar kit

Is this a drag car?
if so, why in the world would you put a ASR/sway bar on it?


Blox is crap, period! You need to do some research.

Blox is junk.

I would get the Omni drag kit, or a Koni/GC combo with the rates you need.

Skunk2 camber kits are alright, I would be willing to try hardrace though.

What do you need LCAs for on a drag car? Much less a swaybar.

If you had proper drag rates, something like 400F 600R a typical sized rear swaybar won't do much, if anything.

And you don't need toe kits either, the factory toe arms are more reliable.

You never heard of athletes say you look good you play good!!
I gotta have some style points while I go down the track thats why I wanted LCAs otherwise I would just leave it bone stock.
so all I need is just coilovers and camber kits and I should be good to go??

Then make sure you get some rear lcas, asr brace w/ huge sway bar, and a beaks tie bar. Those will all help a ton with those 60' times

If you're going to get rear LCAs get PIC or F7.

Those are the only two I would buy.

go with progress csII's they have a drag setup with 350 front 500 rear, for right around $500-600. if you want something even harder for the track, progress will set you up with the CS1's with your choice of custom spring rates, at right around 8-900.. progress FTW

Are those spring rates going to be enough for an h2b, the motor weighs more than your typical b series so I think there is going to be more weight up front, also I don't want the car to see-saw when I launch
were can I get the coilovers and LCAs from??

An h22 weighs ~30lbs more than a b-series.

How much should you compensate?

Also, I I bet you gave up PS, or AC, or both, which probably saved you 30-45lbs over people who run b-series engine and have both.

What kind of LCAs do you want?

The only two I would even consider are Function7 and PIC.

PIC you can buy direct, and Function is sold by a lot of vendors. THMotorsports, king motorsports, weaksauce, JHPUSA, etc.
