    Ok, FWD drag suspension 101.

    When you have weight transfer to the rear of a FWD car, you loose traction.

    You want the spring rates and dampening high and the rebound setting low for the rear to prevent transfer and provide a quick shift back.

    In the front you want a lower spring rate, dampening lower and rebound higher.

    You are almost correct, getting a fwd car to hook drag racing a more than just suspension. Its alignment, toe, camber, counter weight, ride height, etc... Just like a track car. But you do not want a low spring rate in the front or you will get wheel hop and it will be hard to control going down the track, and if return road isnt perfectly smooth you will probably shred your slicks or have to raise the front of the car and that messes with everything listed above. A lot of guys drag racing competitively are running 600lbs springs or so in the front and over even higher in the rear. Omnipower is a popular shock in the drag racing hondas b/c its a short stroke, large bore shock to eliminate as much travel as possible and the most rebound. That way when the car comes out of the hole on a slick the car comes up on the tire rather than shifting weight to the back of the car. As far as RWD, your on your own on that ****.
