Street/strip Suspension

What are some good options for a daily driven vehicle (as of right now) that sees a lot of track time. Right now I just have a 5.7, but end goal is high ten low 11 426 car.

I want to get the most I can out of the suspension while still keeping a low stance if possible. Right now I am on SRT springs, bilsteins in front stock shocks on rear. The shocks are in need of replacing and was looking at Koni for replacement all around. But wondering if there is a better option such as the qa1.

Not sure how the qa1 are for daily driven vehicles though.

I know alot use v6 springs, but I want a lower stance. Also not looking to spend 2k or more on adjustable dampening coil overs if I don't need to.

I have lakewoods front and back. They are a concession on the street but not unbearable. At the track my launches are straight and pretty consistent, but slow 1.7x. If you are going fast, you might need something better. They are cheap.

I have H&R sport springs, which are lower than SRT springs, that I daily drove all the time. Looking to swap someone with SRT springs if you're interested.

You mean they ride real rough or something?

Thanks. Would think about it but can't go any lower at the moment due to my driveway. Really the srt Springs give desirable height....

the rears are a little rough, the fronts kind of have a floaty feeling. You get used to it, and it's no big deal as I don't drive very aggressively on the street. I'm not sure how much is a function of the shocks and how much is the v6 springs.

I was just looking at Lakewood's....50/50 for rear and would go with 70/30 for front.....which do you have for front 70/30 or 90/10?

According to Lakewood 90/10 is strip use only, 70/30 is street/strip. Honestly not bad prices for a 4 compared to buying 4 new bilsteins or 4 koni's

I have the 70/30s. If I was buying again I would go with the 90/10s. The only time they are really noticeable on the street are emergency swerve maneuvers or on/off ramps at high speeds.
