Default drag suspension

im looking at doing a suspension on my 03 mustang gt to get my 60ft times down. i have been reading on the fox body springs. whats the best shocks and struts to go with this set up. also i was wondering how well my car will still turn and handle on the street since this is my daily driver?

It will work fine on the street but won't be a corner carver. Yoy can get adj struts and shocks to offset the soft springs. Strange and QA1 make good adj struts and shocks.

if money is an issue, Lakeood makes some good struts. I cut pretty good 60's with them. The car just rides like a boat[:@]

Koni Adjustable Struts and Shocks (Yellow) Low tension springs for both front and rear. Thin sway bars. Weight transfer will be very active during launch. Take it easy when cornering. Your Mustang will swing, sway and bouncelike an 17 old taxi on it's last legs.

Koni is not a very good set up for drag racing.
