Hello
We have always had great luck with QA1 front coil overs. I use a 300lb spring rate (best all around street and strip combo) in the front and also have a single adjustable coil over as well. But if you are looking for that extra adjustment then I would suggest going with a double adjustable coil over on the front. If you are looking for just a all out drag set up. I would suggest going with the R series for maximum weight distribution. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. And I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

I run the Stranges on the street with a 300# spring. I do the same kind of racing that you do which is why I wanted something with adjustability so I really have the edge on most people from a dig. Since I recently installed them I haven't been able to try them out yet in a street race but considering all you need to do is stick your arm under there to make adjustments, I can't wait to see how they do. I went to the track the other day with and my 60' remained the same as it was the time before when I had the stock shocks and lowering springs. However the DA was +1200 worse and track prep was ok at best so I think it's fair to say that in the same conditions as before they would have shown improvement. I wasn't able to completely dial the suspension in either but I think they would definetly be beneficial to you.

Off the line is where i really need the help!Would add some years to my life knowing my car is going to hook when i've got my and my friends $money on the line.car works good now but sometimes i have to peddle it out-would be great to leave with a 75shot and then grab the one 150 at the 60 foot
Can do this at the track but not the street
