Default lowering

hey guys i hit a wall here and could use some help. im planning on buying a set of springs and my debate is between sportlines and gf210s. either way i go im planning on getting a spc camber kit for the rear. my question is do i need one for the front as well? and i guess any personal preferences u may have. i do plan on this being a pretty nice drag car in the next year or so if that has any impact im not sure ive always been a motor first suspension second kinda guy but i learned my lesson. but for the meantime this is my daily. any help is apprecicated thanks everyone

don't lower or go w/ either of those springs if you're planning on racing in the straights. You won't hook for **** due to camber and stiffness of springs.

W/ that said your question about front arms, every car is different. I don't have them yet and I'm slammed on Stance co's and haven't noticed that much wear in the front. I'd go w/ the sportlines and some d-spec shocks. W/ all that said, I will repeat it again....don't go w/ either of those springs if you're planning on dragging the car. You'll be greatly disappointed and your 60 ft. times will suffer. Just my opinion though.

Hit up the drag section in the motorsports section and see what springs those guys are running. You'll need a stiff in the front and a soft in the rear to transfer weight to the rear to get the power to plant.

If you try a dedicated drag racing suspension, its going to be terrible on the street. Good luck.
