When I first got my car it had Skukworks Coilover sleeves and stock shocks. It was a tad bouncy but rather stiff, I suppose.
I ran it at the track and ran 2.2-2.3 60ft's... not very impressive. I did a little tuning ... such as raising the height in the rear and lowering the front just a bit. This alone helped alot. I was now getting consistant 2.1's all day.
Recently, I have purchased Buddy Club Race Spec dampers..... just a flashy word for kick ass coilovers!
Anyhow, these are super adjustable... you can adjust the dampening, rod length and height. I have the rear raised up and very stiff, the front I dropped a bit and left a little softer. Now the car bites into the ground like never before. I now pull of constant 2.0's all day on street tires. Soon, I will experience what it's like with slicks.
Now keep in mind, these improvements were ONLY caused by tuning the suspension... no other mods. If you go to the track alot, you know what they say.... "A tenth in your 60, is like 2 tenths in your 1/4" That is just how valuable the proper suspension is.
This is just regarding Drag Racing..... Now, autocross, road racing..... Suspension is probably, THE most important tool. Although, I plan to get into road racing in the near future... I am not qualified to write an article on it.
If YOU are qualified, feel free to express yourself, via an article or a post.
Thanks,
