Having a hard time finding out what I need to get for my set-up. I was going to go with KTS coilovers but would rather just get shock and spring combo.Car is meant for Drag. KA24DET running 15psi.Weekend car NOT DailyDriver My current 180k stock suspension bottoms out lol. Going to have 15x8 rims(0 offset) on her with some meaty tires in the rear....Can someone point me in the right direction....thanxWould the ksports be ok for this? I'm willing to pay $700 for them if they will last.Go with kyb shock and some eibach springs?

Eibach had some lowering springs specificaly for drag racing, but I cant remember where to find them. You want something with a pretty low spring rates, so the shock of launching can be absorbed. Most high end drag cars have very weak springs in the back for quicker 60' times. Id talk to Ivan, owner of the 9 second KA-T and see what hes running.
