Again, those parts are great for cornering, but if you want better 60-foot times, we need to be looking at Strange 10-way adjustable shocks & struts, Eibach drag springs, UPR control arms... etc.

I ran 12.91 @ 103.7 in my '89 LX with the bone stock motor and basically just DR's and UPR suspension.
Makes sense. I'll keep the suspension stuff in mind too. Ive got a whole winter to browse and plan. Maybe ill look into some new rear suspension designed for drag racing

Cool. Let me know if you need any help with it.

Here's my 12-second stocker:

Your link isn't working.

Do you know if they have suspension kits that balance drag racing and handling? The car is a daily driver and I do love going 30 around a round about and sliding out of my seat while the car is glued to the ground. And I found the eibach drag springs and it seems like they aren't too good for daily driving and don't lower the car. I like the stance of my car so id need to find springs that wont jack up my back end.

Ive also been considering a small shot of nitrous. 75-100. If you've got any insight on that it'd be great

That's weird. The link works for me.

Anyway, I can set you up with a combination that works well for drag and handling. Obviously, it'll be a compromise for both, but vastly superior to stock. If you PM me your phone number, I'll call you and discuss a few different options. Just make sure you allow for about 30 minutes or so to cover the bases.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind for this winter
