sup guys
well i'm looking into upgrading my car suspension this winter and i need some help finding the best suspension for drag racing. I dont car how it rides at all i just want to bust out the best 60ft i can. Any links to some good setups would be great

How streetable would a setup like the hahn car be? (lowered front with regular height rear with avenger springs) How would that effect the handling of the car while turning, etc.? Would it increase suspension stress more than lowering both?

i was looking on one site and said they were gonna start making drag launch springs for FWD eclipses so i think i'm gonna go with them. So of my friends r running them with good results just not to sure what struts to go with

Well I would suggest getting Tokico's. Those shocks on full stiff are quite stiff. The goal is to keep as much weight on the front end as possible. So a good stiff spring coupled with stiff shocks should yeild great results in the traction department. Like was said above you want the front to be softer so the suspension can keep the tires planted a little better. For a spring I would suggest Eibach Sportlines. They really lower the car quite a bit, and they are stiff. If you can find a drag launch spring then go for it.

I don't think avenger springs in the rear, and stock springs in the front are going to be a problem. Most of the time with FWD and nose heavy cars (like ours) the front suspension is more critical than the rear.

I've driven around with my shocks at full soft in the front and full stiff in the rear (I forgot to change them back when I was at the drag strip) and the car still drove around fine.

If anything, stiffening the rear of the car would help to reduce the huge understeer we have. The ride might be a bit bouncy, but with the majority of weight over the front wheels, and with the front shocks/springs soft, it wouldn't be as bad as, say having a stiff front end and a soft rear end.

but would it be bad on the car to drive around with just a lowered front end and stock height rear end

thanks for the help

I didn't see anythign about motr mounts. stiffen them up they are crap in stock trim.

Also no one mentioned sway bar. A stiff sway bar up front is going to help reduce wheel hop some.

skunk2 drag launch kit in the front with some FAT disgusting wide trailing arms, super stiff motor mounts. stiff front shocks and full master bushing set from energy in the front. wide tires (235) with some hub centric wheel spacers and slicks. you're GOLDEN for a FWD launch. not to mention a LSD, CM stage 4 and a rev launcher

I have the Tein Flex with adjustable edfc and the front is 1.9 while the back is a 1.5 drop. You can manually set the stiffness/softness with the edfc.

what about sway/strut bars on the front/back. i would imagine that stiffening the back all you can would be advantageous, and that perhaps a strut bar on the front would help keep both wheels equally plantedbut no one's really mentioned this, i guess they don't help that much.

a more expensive alternative to avenger springs might be getting a set of eibach sportlines and eibach prokits and using the prokits on the back and the sportlines on the front and selling the other pairs of springs you have, but sportlines are pretty low.

another thing is dropping the air pressure on your front tires some (but not too much cuz they add rolling resistance at higher speeds). this will help the tire "bite" but isn't reccomended for daily driving because it'll make them wear faster.
