FWD drag setup help

[cjridert1]

Hoping for some advice:

FWD (2800ish) is spinning quite a bit and Im looking for some ways to get some more traction. I have a Quaife + 24.5 MT drag + ELHS. 1.9 was my best 60' meanwhile spinning till third (12.6@120) with a 2 stage BC. A member here suggested stiffer rear springs and a traction bar.

My current suspension is an aged (~95) KYB/Eibach combo. The car is lowered about 2" I would guess (I had nothing to do with the suspension work).
Ive been looking @ coilovers and they are $$$!
The GC style is cheaper, can I buy them without springs and toss ones with heavier spring rate in?
Is it a viable option to just toss in stiffer springs in the back? The car is allowed to ride stiff.

Thanks for the help guys

Could I just keep the springs I have and buy GCs? Anyone?

With KYB's you can turn up the stiffy in the rear.

lower springs in the front than in the rear, and stiff rear springs so the car does not transfer weight to the rear should help.

get different slicks. I make more power than you and hook in 2nd at the track.

I had a 95 tsi that weighed 2590 without me stock suspension and i was pulling 1.73 60ft and wasn't done tuning the launch on 8.5x8x15" M&H slicks and those mickeys are comparable but i do believe the M&H are a little better for us fwd's ! I think its all in the tune and suspension. i feel that 1.6x 60ft shouldn't be a problem when you get it figured out.
