Last Tuesday I finally got to take my LX out for the first time and it was awesome...until the clutch decided to go out on me. So now Im doing gears and a new clutch and shocks/springs. What shocks/springs do you guys recommend for a street strip car? I only want to replace the springs on the rear and replace all 4 shocks, and I also dont want to lower the car. So which shocks/springs do you suggest? Thanks

 

That is your foundation, very important, what are you using this car for, street, strip, bracket?

What size tires and rims are on the car, ( 215 225 17 )

You looking for a stiff but soft ride, or an all out corner buster, with the cost of some cushion?

 

It will see the dragstrip about once or twice a month
15x7 Rims with 225 street tires(switching to 255 ETs soon)
Handling doesnt matter much to me
Thanks for the reply

 

Id get some drags, upper and lower control arms, and gears. Thats a et buster right there

 

Yea but my driver rear spring is busted so I obviously need new springs and I was just going to do shocks while I was at it. I wasnt sure what shocks/springs everyone is using now days (Ive been out of the drag racing "loop" for some time now and Im just starting to get back into it)Thanks

 

what would you recomend fora full out handle buster? haha seriously tho whole setup?

 

um...I would recommend starting your own thread!!! Jk I honestly dont know

 

heres what i suggest

budget... stock rear springs, 4cyl front springs, strange 10 way struts up front, cheap 3 way adjustables in the back, summit, or another off brand upper and lower control arms

not on a budget... eibach drag kit, or moroso drag springs(cut), strange 10 way struts all the way around, and some good controls arms

 

OK thanks man

 

that "budget" set up is what im doing... heres a pic of its launch, stock power, and stock gear, with just the front suspension, nothing done to the rear...
