I'm building my 1992 1G AWD with something near 450wHP with 456 ft.lb tq.
I got Evo 9 Enkei wheels 17x8 pol and until now I've been thinking on Bilstein Touring Class shocks and Eibach Pro-kit springs, and all bushing set Energy suspension Hyperflex (black ones).

I'd like to know if the Toe eliminator kit would give me better performance on drag race. Because the fact that I like to drive on streets and make some circuit style drive, It'll make the car harder or heavier on cornering?

Will this setup give me a good performance on the stage, with good times on 60ft and make too much difference on daily-drive?

I wanna try to get 1.6s on 60ft with 2800lb total weight and would like to know if dunlop FM901 235/45 R17 will give the desired performance.

Am I in need of camber kit to use these Eibachs? I read on another thread that these springs works good with these shocks.

Help me to develop a good system to use on streets and give me good times on drag strip.

Thanks and sorry about my english!!
 
The site says that they are better than stock ones, but how better??
This kit is a little expensive just for tests and I'm not a professional pilot. Just want to know if they will work good with my system.

My preoccupation is if this setup (shocks and springs) will run good. People said that these springs seens to be spineless, but it could be about their progressiveness.

Thanks!
 
All right. I'll check about the toe later when finishing my build.

I'd like to ask for more opinions about the shocks/springs setup. I couldn't find some information about these Bilstein Touring Class on internet and don't know if they work well with the springs.
Asking again, are the Eibach Pro-kit too much flexible, spineless for luxury cars? I'm trying to improve the performance but keeping some of the confort. I cannot use the SportLine becouse the shocks doesnt't support them.

H&R Sports have drop of 1.4' and seens to be an option. What about them?

Thanks!
 
i put 2 inch drop springs on stock struts yea its a little rough but just stay away from pot holes and speed bumps i like them alot i like the way it rides
