Hard to beat Pedders zero drop rear springs (I have +5/16" drag springs, but the zero drop are very nice too). They are about 50% stiffer than the stockers. I also have the Pedders GSR shocks. Nice pretty red.

I've got drag bags in an otherwise stock suspension and they helped w/wheel hop quite a bit. It's also nice you can adjust them to figure out what you like the look and feel of. Also cheap and easy to install.

I wanted to run 275-40-17 Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radial tires, so that's why I went with the taller drag springs. The Zero drop Pedders springs will work fine for stock size tires and Nitto 275-40-17 drag radials (they run narrower).
I had a PM asking about the half shafts. They are custom made by a guy I know that has his own company. PM me if you want info about how to contact him. He uses Porsche 930 CV joints with chrome moly CV cages and hardened races. The 930 joints are thicker than the stock CVs and distribute the load over a wider area. The axles are made from tough 4340 material. They also come with a new set of longer 12.9 grade bolts. The red power coat was sort of a one off, but who knows, you might be able to talk him into powder coating more.

What does your post have to do with the thread? Take a chill pill. I posted a pic of springs and shocks and then got a PM asking about the axles. I figured I'd post the info in case someone else was curious. Oh yeah, it's spelled "secret".

I've heard nothing but good things about Pedders, I witnessed a 28 point inspection at Precision Motorsport and the rep was so knowledgeable and honest.
Pedders all the way.
They have some many different options for any application.
