Hey all,

I am debating on some Swift springs for my IX MR, Would these hurt or help me at the dragstrip?

i believe they will help you... if i remember correctly they lower the car more in the front so the weight transfer to the back while launching which loses the traction in the front wheels will be less...

However, they have a lower spring rate than the stock ones so i don't know...

With the same concept i installed the Tanabe GF210s
which lower the car more in the front and less in the back and they are stiffer than the stock ones... Theoritically the weight transfer will be less and the car won't spin the front wheels too much...

Also camber plays a significant role... If you setup your car for time attack with camber more than -2 then the car might lag on the strip...

Pesonally i tried to keep a close to stock allignment...

i will go to E-town next saturday to see if it will help or not...

 

Thanks for the reply. I was kind of thinking the same thing. At any rate I will look forward to your findings this weekend, and will let you know of mine as well.

Thanks,

SQ
