drag set up with lg coilover?
Ok trying to get some opinions here. Just picked up some lg gt2 coilover and sway bars with end links. Im a straight line racer. Roll racing, and dig racing. I love taking corners hard and all but its not my preference. Is there any benefit for me by installing this set up for my style of racing? I was considering selling it or trading for the drag style coilover set up from pfadt. Any answer or help is greatly appreciated .

You should just use them IMO. They will still allow the type of adjustment you need. Super loose in the front, and more on the stiff side in the rear. I run the Pfadt drag specific coil-overs you are talking about and gained maybe 1/10 or 2/10 on a good day. I have their heavy-rate rear bar and poly control arm bushings too. Not worth the near $3k for all this.

It depends on how serious you plan to go with the car. My 400whp car is still not crazy enough to really need the all out drag setup. This setup would make sense for seriously built, all out drag cars. The gains would likely be much better for a car that could barely keep traction even on racing slicks. So not necessarily a bad buy, but I found out the hard way, my money would have been better spent on power adders for now, and that kind of thing later when its needed.
