I can't say that I have really concentrated on car setup for the strip. But, from what I do know two things about the KW Varient 3 coilovers are more uniquely suited for the strip then you would normally find in a coilover.

Most coilovers normally have linear springs, The KW springs are progressive, which for my needs I won't touch. To the point it's that feature in the rear that in my mind will be benefit on the strip. The rear spring rate starts out at a much lower rate and goes higher.

The other feature is the Variant 3's ability to adjust rebound and compression dampning seperately, allowing you to dial in more front rebound and less in the rear and being able to set compression dampning so it will be the most productive.

Only other thing I can think if is the fact that I believe that HKS has or will bring to the U.S. a drap racing coilover system. At least I thought I saw that info somewhere.

twintube construction,
V1=non adjustable dampning,
V2=adjustable rebound damping,
V3=separate adjustability .
