front suspension for 4th gen f body What type of suspension do you run on your drag car?
Struts, coil over with a-arms, lowered or not lowered?
just want to know what alot of guys are using. I'm thinking of going with 2" drop struts and adj lowers.

Yeah, struts. How are folks attaching the top of the strut, and the lower a-arm to the strut? Do you need a completely different K-member? Sorry if for being a little off topic for what your asking, but I think this is the route I want as well.

i should be receiving my struts and new lower controller arms in about a week. I'll post up some pics and let you know how it goes. It might be more like two weeks with christmas and the new year.

i'm not looking to compete in any particular class. I was just looking for the trickest lighest components out there. I don't see the big deal it's a direct bolt on piece.

I saw one kit, that requires a motor plate, Do you guys have any other kits available?
Also, what about a 3rd gen front suspension setup on a 4th gen car? It saves some weight for sure, and opens up the drag brake options a bit. I have seen one of these before, but it used $1200 AFCO struts iirc, so thats a little out of most peoples budget.

Burkhart k-member tied into my 25.5 setup, motor plate and midplate, burkhart upper and lower a arms, afco coilovers and burkhart 2" drop spindles, aerospace brakes to top it off and some other misc things here and there.

Their website is so vague. Doesn't go into ANY detail at all. I'm assuming you got the :
CF-4900 2" Drop Spindle Struts 4th Generation $1099
The picture on the website looks a little different than what you have on your car. I see you are running a spindle mount too.

Yea they are double adjustables. Last time I weighed the car it was 3336 with me and 1/2 tank of fuel. Im doing alot to the car now to get it lower. I dropped a ton of weight with the AJE front, not sure how much but it is substantial. Very great products!!
