Default suspension

Ok I have the power now I need to get it to the road! I am looking for a good set of springs for the rear. Its going to be a straight line car, so what are the best springs to get the power to the road? What do you guys run and like the most?

i'd more work on your front suspension for weight transfer. if anything just control arms in the rear, then some drag springs in the front or 4 cylinder springs in the front. with some drag struts. or just go with a coilover front end suspension kit.

if its a straight line car and your really set on making it a strip/street car down the road get coilovers. if your looking to run stock suspension get a pair of eibach drag springs or moroso trick springs. Im running the eibachs while my other buddy is running moroso and our 60's are almost exact cept hes running 10.70s and im in the 10.90s. The eibachs are nice because they give you an air bag to help adjust body roll on launch

dave at team z decided my spring rate when he asked about the goals of the car and how much street driving it will see.
