well i want to start to select some parts for the suspension of my car but i first have a question...would drag suspension be good for street use or just go with the lowering springs...

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT get lowering springs for drag racing. I had Eibach and they were not good for drag racing. Dont get me wrong they are great springs. Start off with some drag springs or fox body springs, then subframe connectors and lower and upper control arms which will make your car night and day difference. Then get some Drag struts and shocks. To top it off get some DR's not NITTOS! You will hook great!

upper and lower arms plus subframes will help on the track and will really improve daily driving. the stock suspension is garbage for daily driving and drag racing

well what about some type of springs for everyday use...

An all out drag suspension wouldn't be smart on the street, but you could find a nice compromise. Regular lowering springs would contradict the weight transfer that you'd want for drag racing, but even so you can still get decent traction with the addition of aftermarket lower control arms and good tires.

well you know it all depends on mods and how much ya have so here is a cheap way


use 4 banger front springs
some drag shocks 70/30 struts and 50/50 rear..
upper and lower control arms
stickey tires
battery in the rear over the right rear
adjustable snubber
air bag in the left rear to preload suppension

now if you add frame connectors then you'll need more wt transfer
tubalur a-amrs
coil-over 175 pounds
strut tower brace
torque boxes
manaul rack..saves about 25 pounds off the front
fiberglass hoods
etc

I would worry more about handling in your cr. Not traction for drag racing. I dont think you have any problems with traction

Get some nice lowering springs and be done with it.
