What struts and springs? Its a 80% drag and 20% street. It put down 418rwhp and will be spraying a 200 shot. For the front it has tublar K member, no a/c, no ps, no hvac, Battery in back, No horns, no smog, and running skinnys. I have full susp. out back and running comp. engineering 3 way adj. shocks. Should i just keep the stock springs for the rear. Thanks

depending on your budget a nice set of AFCO or Strange shocks will be exactly what you need. the stock springs usually work fine in the rear and if need be we can get you into a rear coil-over conversion setup no problem.
with your weight reduction a set of 275# springs will do the trick in the front. I would probably ditch the Comp shocks in the back so you get better control of the tire hit and better downtrack valving.
Pm or call us for the best deals out there on any AFCO or Strange products.

Travis, very similar setup to you minus the nitrous and I'm running a 275lb spring in the front with QA1-R's and the comp engineering 3-way shocks with stock springs out back. Haven't had the combo at the track yet.

I'm running the Strange SA's upfront with a 300# spring and the Comp 3-ways out back with Strano lowering springs for reference.
I would just run the stock springs out back, they should be fine. Upfront I would run a Strange or better yet Afco if you have the money. The QA1's aren't as good quality wise as the Stranges and cost the same so a no brainer to get the Stranges unless you wanna fork out for the Afco's. As for a spring I would do a 275# with your weight reduction mods upfront. I see no reason to get rid of the Comp 3-ways, there are better alternatives but they should certainly get the job done.

Stealth makes some good points. I went with the QA1-Rs as a starting point and a good deal on them. There's always room to improve, just take your time and read read read. You'll always hear different opinions and in the end it's somewhat of a gamble as to what will work "best" for your car/combo.
