Hey guys read through a couple suspension threads, but decided to start another one. I was wondering what the best suspension setup would be for a car seeing the road course and 1/4 mile? I'm sure it will have to be geared towards one more than the other, so I would just like to hear your opinions/experiences.
Thanks

I would imagine coilovers would be the best of both. as long as they are ones you can control dampening, rebound, and ride height all as three separate variables.

Thanks, I was thinking it would be CO's. Is there a certain brand that you would suggest? Good suspension setups is something I'm not very familiar with. My dad and I had a friend that woud always adjust the suspension on our race cars. Guess I should've paid more attention...

KWs seem to be popular with a few guys around here. I think the BC racing are pretty good as well.

A member on here by the name of turka also has the prototype kit for a company in which I can't remember at this moment. Might be worth a PM to him or maybe he will chime in.

i'll be going with Strange shocks/struts. they are more setup for the 1/4 mile but have 10 settings so if i want to try autocross, which i do, i'll change the settings and see what it'll do. it wont be near as good for autocross but i prefer the track anyways.
