Im doing a 240 set up for drag rb20det. whats a good suspension for it to keep it stiff and handle really well. i cant afford coil overs i know they r best but what would be a good non coil over set up?

Stock suspension is the best for drag racing. you can get some really good 60' times. Just get some new KYB struts all the way around and call it a day.

yea im gonna go ahead and disagree with you on that one

for performance you always want as little roll as possible, roll can also mean front to back. loading the suspension on a launch with that much weight shift will play games with concistencey and traction.

if your trying to stay away from coilovers, just get some good springs and shocks. Eibach, Koni, KGB adjustables, Bilstein, etc.

i will disagree a little. my best times are with my suspension with less preload, more heighth in the rear and less dampening. i don;t know if i would go stockk, but....

If you look up greaser on Freshalloy you will see that his 60' times were very low. He said that the stock stuff is the best for drag racing. I think his best 60' was a 1.5 .....I'd have to look it up again.
