MJR i got kind of a question thats semi related and may be an idea for the OP as well.

im gonna switch over to a tube K memeber during the winter. i was lookin at getting tube A arms with perches so i can continue to run my drag springs. but is there a huge amount of difference between a coil over set up and my drag spring set up. or is it just nicer to have and easier to work with?cause if its hardly worth the money and effort to convert ill stick with my current spring set up.

first he was sent the improper rate spring so the car had coil bind going on and road like a tank......and then afterwards for some reason the steering is now notchy, something is binding and Bernie has yet to find the time to track down where in the coilover the prob is

lol other than bernies problems dont the coil overs change the ride drasticly making it very bouncy and uncomfortable. not like worn out bouncy but like stiff as a rock bouncy
