Suspension tunning for the strip what works?
My z6 turbo eg ran a 14.1 yesterday with 2.4 60 foot times with slicks. its got kyb's on the front but stock ---- on back. What kind of set-up works best for street and strip? I need to get some traction down and the whole weight tranfer thing is kicking my ***.

with stockers in the rear you are leting all of your weight transfer back there taking away a lot of traction.
if you get some adjustable shox for the rear make sure they are stiff as possible when at the track.
oh yeah, mad smokey burnouts are your friend

You definitely need a good adjustable strut on the back on the firmest setting. The springs need to be height adjustable and between 800lb and 1500lb coils depending on your power level and resistance to a harsh ride on the street. If you don't have enough power, you CAN get too stiff in the rear.

No clutch was cool it was the tires.
Lets talk about what brands you all have worked with and have had good luck with. The car is a 93 si with stock motor and a homemade turbo 14b set up with 10psi and some uberdata action thats allready been tuned.
