Drag suspension setup?

I'm trying to get opinions on a good drag /street race set up? I have the d2 Awd spec coilovers allready! What else! I figured out how to make power! Now I have to plant it! I also have Hoosier 245/45/17 tires on 14lbs a piece buddy club rims. Thanks for the help!

Good question

Good question indeed. I am rocking Bilsteins with swift springs with rx7 rims and Hoosier qtp's. The best 60 foot I got last year was a 1.62. I did not have many passes on the new Exedy clutch so hopefully this year I will run much faster. Any advice or setup changes?

I'm running these buddy clubs, Hoosiers filled with nitrogen, Cbrd titanium lugnuts, Ams/willwood rear brake setup, friction performance 2pc front rotors. All the previous was just added to my car. I'm kind interested to Dyno again and see if there was a gain from the good amount of unsprung wieght dropped. Your talking a good 60+lbs lost!

Well, that is a ballin setup...$$$$....I would imagine you would see some gain on the dyno from loosing that much unsprung weight...
