Default street/strip/autox?

Is it possible to make this happen, I don't need to win at everything. I just want to have fun. I love to autox, but drag racing is in me now. And it's my daily driver car. Can anyone help?

I am setting up my 90 Fox hatchback to autocross with mostly Maximum Motorsports stuff.

I am getting QA1 adjustable shocks and struts but the springs will probably be too stiff to have any good weight transfer for drag racing.

Like Jasperstang308said, you can get as many adjustable parts as you can to help switch back and forth but there is only so much you can do.

i think no

actually i think impossible

everything you do for drag racing makes turning harder... because of weight transfer

so imo, they work against each other. now if you wanted to be just a player and not a contender.... i can say i have owned 2 lowered cars and neither affected drag racing really. hpm lca's are good for both, and the poly bushing kit will make it stiff

but after that, it all works against each other
