Thread: 1000 lb rear springs for the strip...GOOD OR BAD?

eibach ERS springs, 1400lbs rear, 850lbs front...that is what i run, the higher spring rate up front help the rear from unloading and prevent the car from becoming unstable on dece

Stiff springs in the rear isn't the correct way to do it, but it will work. It's plenty safe still, a lot of the sub 9 second Hondas do it.

A stiff front spring with a light spring in the rear coupled with properly valved shocks is the proper way.

Idk to much about these b13's and so on on drag racing set ups as I am new to the nissan world but I have alout of experience with hondas and have had many fast all motor's from 12 to 11 sec ones. Even my buddys and there 10 and 9 second turbo civics all use 10k spring or more on the drag set ups and they cut down times ALOUT!
I wouldnt worry about lossing control in the end unless you have really soft springs in the front and huge slicks like 25" that are deflated to 9psi. The stiffer the rear on FWD, the better the traction will be up front. But sucks for daily driving and is not recommended!!! gl man.

yes i would have to agree!! Go with a 24" slick on a 13" lenso.

1000 lbs springs would be great for reducing the weight transfer. I have read somewhere where they took out the springs and installed a piece of pipe to eliminate the "sit" from the launch. And basically kept all the weight of the car up front.
