    I just figured since I was going to build it from the ground up, I don't wanna get something cheap that i'll regret! So... what do I have left???
    For the drag strip you want to stiffen the hell out of the rear, you don't want it to squat on a FWD. Got a buddy with a N/A SOHC CRX running 13 flat or faster w/ a 1.6 sec 60'...the roll cage was welded directly to the rear suspension.

    Stiff enough to where you don't bounce? I assume you mean that lofty 80-90's Cadillac or Grand Marquis floating feeling or Charger landing a Dukes of Hazard jump? The rigid harsh bouncing is caused by a stiff spring that doesn't have a shock with matching rebound and dampening...like 90% of mini trucks scraping the hwy. reflectors up. You'll get that from a lowering spring on a stock or blown shock...or one with no shock at all.

    The suspension on the Raceworks Del Sol's is around $1,400 PER corner and took 8 years of R&D to get the perfect setup. It's a custom true coil-over dampener setup from Advance Design/Ground Control, they have over 200 applications using 175 differant Eibach springs...not exactly you're $199.99 Ground Control sleeve setup you're used to seeing http://www.ground-control-store.com/...egory.php/CA=4

    so as long as I get a decent spring with a decent shock, I can call it a day for street usage with occasional track stidts.
