i got some great coilovers from viren that are perfect for drag.! they are top speeds , infinetely adjustable(32 strut settings) height and rebound...believe me, these are the real deal ****. plus they are cheap!!! i originally had ground controls w/ konis w 400lb frnt 550 rears and these are much better!

im b18bturbo about them..tell him u want the same ones i got

I had stock shocks with 350 lb springs on the front. I swapped in a set of Progress Group coil overs with 350 lb. springs, and they knocked .06 sec. off my 60 ft. time. My car is a 2280 lb CRX with a 1.6 sohc, 10.88 at 132.5 mph. I def. recommend their stuff....worked great on my car!

Later,

I dont want to give away my super secret setup, but I believe everyone knows it. This year Ground control custom rate, basically stiff as **** in the rear, tokico struts 5 ways, enery suspension bushings, good alignment, camber kit, jim fab bars, so other minor tweaks. Similar setup on my crx, got me 1.61 sixties, car weighed 2140 with me in it. Jason

Strange is coming out with a line of street based coilover struts with drag like performance...

but like what Jason said... have to work on the custom rates... and scales are very nice to help chassis setup

Progress coilovers here but the track hasn't opened yet. I will probably end up ordering the Progress rear drag setup and just switch out the rear.

i ran tanabe sustec pro coil over shocks with 16 way adjustable with no traction bars my 1950lbs integra ran 1.53 60s. with traction bars. i gained more in the 330 and mostly 1/8 mile. 60 foots dropped down to 1.500 on some old worn out 26 inch slicks.

on my all motor civic hb 2,200 lbs, i run koni yellows with ground controls for a integra type R. my 60 foots were 1.670, but the car bogged a little off the line, (good track conditions)
