Default Time for coilovers.... 1st priority is drag-strip friendliness, 2nd is streetability

Looking for a suspension for my DC2 that could be driven on the street safely (can't have toooooo much of a spring rate) and would suit my needs at the strip every weekend. I've been pushed toward the Apexi N1 and the Tein SS systems. Can anyone give me some insight of what would be best for my application?

TIA

Erik

BTW, I'll be rolling on 17'son the street. I'l like to eliminate my wheel gap around town. On the weekends I'll be bolting on Bogarts with a 28" slick. I'm thinkin maybe that would make this more clear to those of you who know your stuff. Thanks

apex cannot be serviced, Tein can.

Drop me a line if you need Tein SS.

very interesting. that will definatly keep me from the N1's. Can anyone else comment or make suggestions on other coilover systems that may be of interest to me? or would I be set with the Tein SS's? Thanks again

I recently installed my Progress coilovers and love them. They also make a set designed for drag. I plan to order the rears to swap out also.

my thoughts exactly. any car truley needing a 28" slick shouldn't be on the street(on 17's at least).
