Suspension for drag racing Ok, I'm looking to do a few minor things to better my traction. I was thinking about changing out my eibach pro-kit for the drag launch springs but it seems they don't make them for 98+ F-bodies. Any suggestioms as far as springs etc. go?
thanks

Re: Suspension for drag racing Hals up front. Stockers out back. The trick is getting the shocks right. The more adjustment you have, the easier it is to dial in according to the track conditions.

Re: Suspension for drag racing When you say Hals, which ones are you refering too? The QA1's or the F-series? Would they be any different than my eibachs up front? As far as shocks, right now I have KYB adjustable in the rear (set on 8, the stiffest) and some crappy kind up front. Should I put some dj. up front, say on the loosest setting?
Re: Suspension for drag racing soften those rear shocks up some when you go drag racing
HAL and QA1 are the same thing. QA1 is just the new name for the company
as far as bang for the buck, some LCA lowering brackets will help out pretty good for $60

Re: Suspension for drag racing Well call me a glutton for punishment, but I am trying a radical combination.
Eibach Drag Launch kit out back with Competition Engineering Drag Shocks....no idea what setting yet. That is with the airbag.
Upfront QA1 Shocks and Springs. But only after I experiment with the Eibach Drag Springs up front, and do some testing. I have a load of suspension tuning, with the new rearend, Wolf Racecraft Sway Bar, and the HPM Adjustable Torque arm. I figure this 4 way mind screw should land me in the loony bin very soon. I still think I can hit a 1.40 60ft time with a 150 Shot. Then again, I could be carted away for even trying this combination, and all these new parts all at once. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
