Drag set-ups

[jetmech]

Gents, lets talk drag set ups that work on these cars with SRA's. I'd like to focus on setting up the suspension around DR's, so what struts/springs rates work together as well as rear shocks and springs? I'm more focused on drag racing then street as it's not my DD. Any products I should stay away from, bad experiances? Post up times you've run on your set up also please.

What's your 60' time on this set up? keep 'em coming guys. I'd also like to hear what times you've run with your set up.

I haven't ran it yet with my team z uppers, but with upr stuff I was cutting 1.69 on a crappy track

Is this with slicks or D/Rs ?

This is what I run in my car

That's the route I went,I'm doing the Team Z dbl adj uppers, lowers and the anti-roll bar. Going with UPR K-member with control arms. I was just unsure on best spring rate and strut combo. How does it 60' and run in the 8th with that set up?

 

[Evo2SVT]

low 1.5 in the 60' I forget what it goes in the 1/8 but the 1/4 is 11.0. I would go 14-175 spring with Strange single adjustable up front. Good combo that works really well in the cars

 

[jetmech]

Thanks, I'm going to check those struts out. Evo2SVT, is your car full weight coupe or vert?

 

[Evo2SVT]

Minor weight reduction coupe

 

[jetmech]

Thanks for the info, anyone else who's got a good set up post up please I'd like to get a couple different known/proven spring rate/strut combos.
