Okay i'm going to buy coilovers tomorrow and i just want to know what you guys think, i'm going to use it for street use maybe the strip like a few runs but nothing major..

 

what coilovers are you planning on buying?

 

i have no idea yet...haha i was just looking at some but most are for a lot of strip use..i was really into the eibach...but i have no clue i just want something that rides well.

 

buy ground control coilovers.

500 lb front and 150 or 175 rear.

Strano springs use 500f/150r and most everyone is satisfied.

I'm going w/ ground control 500/175r more for handing and auto-x than softer for drag. But you should be OK w/ either, and 150 would be better for street.

 

yeah that's what the local guy said strano would be great...so i might go with them

 

Oh you meant coilover springs? Not coilover sleeves?

Whatever, either one is a great choice. Strano or Ground Controls. Pair them up w/ a good shock, Koni Yellow is the best affordable shock. About 800 for all four.

Or alternative is KYB AGX. (compared to Koni, it's just an average shock).

 

on the opposite end of the spectrum... i run qa1 "R" coilovers with 275 pound springs, i'd recommend the 325 spring for street strip though. i have a lot of weight reduction, and the 275s still barely hold up the front end.

 

I run strange Double adjustable shocks with 300# springs up front. I can set them up for whatever I want to do. I run Drag shocks out back because thats the cars primary focus.

 

i went with tokico they seem great!! and they are adjustable just the way i wanted...so this means bonding time for me and my father i also got 4 new rotors and pads...and a b&m short throw shifter edelbrock headers race cats and a y pipe =)

 

You guys use a special wrench for your front coilovers to turn them? Just installed some strange Coil overs on the front and I think a special too is needed? Where did you get it?

 

well, my dad is a heavy duty mechanic or atleast was...so he just had it...will post some pics soon!!

 

Yes it is called a spanner wrench

I got my spanner with my strange shocks. Dont remember if I ordered it or if it just came with it.
