Suspention Options?

[R34NRG]

as some of u may no my cars been going through some major transformations, and one yet to do (which should have been one of the 1st) is suspention.

the car should see between 350-380rwkw and possibly 400rwkw for the occasional drags or dyno comp.

basically my question is without compromising to much comfort, whats the best way to put the power down?

theres alot of hype for whiteline springs+shocks combo aswell as Fulcrums aussie designed TEIN suspension.

any thoughts?

i should also mention that the car will be a 90% street with the 10% drag/track

Not so easy to answer without some more details;

1. What does "10% drag/track" mean? Is that 10% drag or 10% circuit or 5% drag and 5% circuit?

2. How serious are you about your track work? Bit of fun or do you want to win?

3. What tyres are you using for the 3 disciplines (road tyres, drag tyres, circuit tyres)?

4. Are you prepared/able to change the rear springs and shocks when/if you go drag racing?

Perhaps at the same time as you are changing to some drag tyres?

5. Are you prepared/able to change the swaybar settings when/if you go to the circuit?

Most likey at the same time as you are changing to some R type tyres?

6. Are you aware of the various regulations? For example at the drags mixing radial and cross ply tyres, harnesses, roll cage, ballistic blanket, parachute etc.

This is important, because with 400 rwkw and decent drag suitable suspension you could easily find yourself required to fit somme or all of this before you get run #2 down the 1/4. You could spend a lot of money, get one run and then have to go home.

That should be enough for me to give a decent answer.
