BMR, Pfadt and Hotchkis all make great springs. Pedders are good too, just a bit spendy. Feel free to call, PM or email me with questions.

Best regards,

are there any major differences in the springs concerning traction at the drag strip?

I personally prefer Pfadt and BMR. Between them you have 3 different ride height options from 1-1.4 inch and they both ride very well.

Yes! Hotchkis. Everyone else tells you to run their coupe spring, it will just sit lower. Total cop out if you ask me.

I have the Hotchkis 1" vert springs. So far they are great. I accidently hit a speed bump at 20 mph the other day and was surprised how well it absorbed it.
