straight line racing suspension questions
I have finally "after 4 years" finshed my build to the point of driving alot. The car will be mostly street, tracked a lil, but always drag raced roll or dig. No twisties. Car currently dyno's 1145 but i plan on e-85 swapping and bumping it up a lil. carlyle 15" conversion 4l80 with 2step and transbrake. I know i need coilovers but what all do yall recommend as far as drag bar, or certain brand coilovers. I want to be able to leave in boost and never really studied suspension on these cars

BMR has as nice setup with strange coilovers
QA1 has direct fit front and rear double adjustable coilovers for the 5th gen Both options are 100% made in USA.

carlyle 15 kit allows you to keep your hand brake if thats important. BMR switching to willwoods does not keep factory hand brake.
Viking coilovers are looking nice for more drag oriented folks. |

Second QA1 coilovers. I had another brand and had to switch as they would work with 17” or smaller wheel.

I don't know about the Viking front coil overs but they are about 2 blocks down the street from QA1! They are also made in the USA!

Carlyle kit is not good if you want to run adjustable shocks. You can get the BMR rear control arm with strange double adjustable coilovers and than add just the Carlyle brake kit or aerospace rear brakes
