drag coilovers?
does anybody make a drag coilover package that would work on a '93 SC300?
or the related question would be, for drag racing, what suspension setup has been the most successful?
thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, Brian is also the only person I know running them in an SC, but i'm sure he'd be willing to tell you all about them. Jeff, will your car have more of a road race or drag race bias? It looks like you're going for road, but with the auto I was thinking maybe more strip.

100% drag... i've got the supra for the twisties... i don't want to be one of those guys that starts talking trash about how fast i'll be before the car is even done... but lets just say that i'll personally consider 9s to be a failure on this project... but as all drag racers will tell you, making the hp is never the problem...

Oh, I meant J.Man, 'TurboB6', but I like your answer 
Eights, huh? I'd like to strip down a '92 and build a drag setup also, but for now a 10sec daily driven luxury car will be enough of a fix
. Planning to back-half it?

sorry, too many jeffs!
8s are feasible on the IRS (a la MSP, Titan, MVP, etc.)... i'm sure it won't be easy, but the reward of beating drag-only muscle cars in a Lexus is priceless... check the profile, i live in Nebraska... there are some fast domestics, but they are all big-tire, big block, nitrous cars... when we built our 8 second turbo mustang people were literally coming up to us saying "how can you run that fast without nitrous?"...

if so, how loose can they be made? on my last drag car i had a set of HAL QA1 12-way adjustable coilovers... on "12" the car felt like it had no suspension at all - a total rock... on "1" you could bounce the front end up and down 8" with one hand... i'd like to find something with an equally broad range for this application...
thanks,

Man, I don't know of anything for an SC/Supra that has a range like that, but if someone does....jump right in. I was originally intending to build a daily driver plus weekend 1/4 action, but I can see down the road maybe swapping in a Getrag and doing some road racing, would like to know for sure just how good I am
