KW v3 vs LG SPINDLES for street and occasional Drag racing ?
What do you guys have and recommend. The price is almost the same for either.
If you had one of these let me know how you like them.
thanks !

I have LG spindles because I wanted to keep the mag ride. Coilovers are so C5.

They made much more of a difference than I was expecting than lowering on bolts alone with an alignment.
You forget how much handling is compromised by lowering this way until you go back to the original geometry.
I don't believe the drag spindles change any suspension geometry though.
If going for a 'drag' optimized MRC setup you might actually want a softer composite spring rate than a Z06 provides anyway.
LG also sells/installs the DSC controller you should ask about that option with the drag spindles. They have a lot of experience in setting up suspensions.
That way you can have custom setups for the different drive modes and control it with the factory dial.
...Clean and you don't have to go into the wheel well to make adjustments, just use a laptop from a comfy chair.
All that being said if my car was a purpose built race car then it would have coil overs for sure because at that point I'm probably looking at custom spring rates that are not available in a composite spring.

Yes, LGs parts are top notch and built strong. I have their drop spindles since I don't really drag race.

what about the Tractive and DSC vs the Spindles and the DSC with the stock MRC ? any opinions ?
