What kind of suspension setups are you running? I've searched on other forums and it seems that some people use coilovers but still find them to be too stiff for the kinds of launches and 60 foots that they want. I thought about the eibach sportlines since everyone said they are decently soft, but I'd like to hear from someone that has used them or any possible suggestions. Goal is to 60 well, so I need something that will transfer weight. Thanks in advance:bigok:

Edit I'm talking about spring / strut combos, not bushings, or other components

I think KTS have optional spring in 3k for the rear, I think I may get a pair to run them.

Dunno. Best drag setup i've heard of is HKS Drag Coilovers.

stock spring should be pretty low rate since 240sx "comfort over performance suspension" ? then cut a coil off to get it low. lol

seriously I think a lower spring rate in rear with adjustable shock(soft setting) would be best. maybe a rear ladder bar would help on 60ft time?

its not going to matter what spring+strut combo you go with they are all soft and will be ok for draggin'

8/6 coilovers might not be super awesome for the strip

but with coils itll hook em just fine unless you are putting down waterfall-like horsepower

tips for 60 foot well? practice. and maybe some mickey t's and make sure to cut down on your mickey d's

My turd pulls 1.6 60' times on 7 k springs with mucho rear camber and bigger sways. Not drag setup, but with good tires and launch you can still do well.

235/60/15 Mickey Thompson drag radials is what I have run so far. Best compound out there, the car could do mid 1.5's or better with a little more clutch and no other changes, they really work well.
