right now i have the car torn down to nothing. my strange s60 is on its way, along with every peice umi makes for my car, except their k member, going to spohn for that one since ill have a manual rack from spohn. i got umi - upper and lower aarms, STB, 3 point SFC's, full length TA with relo crossmember kit, LCA's(single adj. with one rod end, one poly end), and single adj. PHB. yes i forgot to order the LCA relo kit. my question is what should i do for shocks an springs? i have most weight reductions done to the front(abs!-air!-crusie!-AC!-PS!)... i want the car to launch great at the strip. thats what i want most. but i also want to go around the corners decent. i was thinking option 1 - qa1 front coil overs 275 kit, with stock replacement rear springs and qa1 stocker rear shocks. OR 2 - bilstens all around, with strano springs. which will give me more of what i want? im thinking option 1, but not sure what to do with the rear.... thanks guys!

 

The QA1 shocks are mediocre on the street. If street handling is important, look at option 2. Ask Sam what he'd recommend for a "dual purpose" setup.

 

i wouldnt say its important. i just dont want it to be horrible, if its equal to the handling performance when the car was new, that would be fine with me. im more focused on launching at the strip

 

anyone else?
