Question Drag Suspension Build? Recomendations?

Looking to do a drag suspension for an 89 lx, I currently have UPR springs, KYB shocks all the way around and UPR adjustable lowers in the rear. I see a lot of parts out there but what do I really need to get a decent hook at the strip and yes i know tires but I mean as far as suspension goes. Also looking to drop a few pounds up front.

What do you all recommend?

idk if your shock's struts are adjustable, but if they are, you wand 90/10 in the front, and 50/50 in the back.

lower's you already have, so your good on that. get some upper control arm's.

a nice fat tire is going to help alot for you to hook, with upper and lower control arm's and good rear shock's you can remove the quad shock and run a 11.5" wide mickey thompson, might have to beat on the fender's a little.


with that, you will be hooking like a mother......


other option's are drag spring's with a bag, and it alway's help's to relocate your battery to the trunk! (less weight up front, which help's to transfer the weight faster, and your putting 25-30lb in your trunk to help put the tire's to the ground!)
