Default Shock combo anyone? springs

Ok I've decided I want to buy the Espelir active GT springs for my car.
Mainly because I want it to perform really well at the track and it has an excellent stiffnesss transfer to the rear. Just to make sure LoL, stiffness transfer to the rear is also relative to weight being transfered to the rear?

I'd like to know what shocks somebody can recommend to go with these springs? Keep in mind I'm looking for more of a DRAG setup. so which shocks would help with weight being transfered to rear and acting fast on the track? Thanks for anyones input!

I know I commented on your other thread and i'm just trying to be nice so don't take this the wrong way but you are going about this all wrong. I have the espelir gt's and they suck for drag racing way to stiff they are a track ( not drag strip)spring that has way to high of spring rate for what you want. Do what you want no big deal but your not going to be happy with those they increased my times at the drag strip. (I set my car up for the mountains so no big deal for me)
If you want a drag racing set up I gave you an honest set up that you would be happy with but what do I know our shop stang only ran 5.38et in the 1/8th

that mustang is slow!! hehe


just kidding

ideally you want the car to squat 2 to 3 inches and not rebound hard at all, this is hard to accomplish with IRS. plus its very expensive to keep changing springs all the time.

Stock springs, Nismo s-tune and Hotckis springs IMO are all great for drag racing.
