I am now in the diet phase of my car and shaving weight. The car is a DD so I am not interested in any of the normal shaving that would alter the DD. i.e. - windows, doors, rear, a/c, radio, etc. etc.

Anyway, I've opted for a tubular k-member and some tubular a-arms. I'm also going with some seats. Heck - the factory seats alone are 200 lbs!

I'm okay with those, but I also was thinking about going with a QA1 shock/strut set up with coilovers up front. My other option is of course the tokicos but I know from experience I'll get much better performence from the QA1 coilover set-up.

My question is this is still a DD so streetability is key. Will the coilover set-up just make the car too unpredicatble at high speed and turning? Would you run a drag coilover on a street car?

Or would the Tokico's be a better choice? Granted I won't shave much with the tokicos, but I do want the adjustability for dialing in my front set-up for launches.

Thanks.

depends, i'm not familiar with the QA1 kit, but i know the tockico drag kit will be almost just as firm and predictable as stock when set to the stiffer setting. personally i'd go to maximum motorsports and ask them what kind of spring rate and struts they would recommend for you... they make very nice coilover sleeve kits that you can pair up with any struts and a bunch of various spring rates, get something that's right in between drag and street.
