While Im not that quick,Ill chime in since no one else has.
Ive run 12's and do it with a typical street suspension setup....
175lb springs(nice ride)
Tokiko Blues
RB sways
Poly up front and Watts
Front/rear strut braces
225/17 and 245/17 Falken FK451's with lightweight Advans RG's in a widebody stance.
It takes quite a bit to get into 10's or low 11's.Most likely, guys in that range are going to have a more "race" oriented susp. system.Mine is more a daily driver/touring type suspension,although it does an outstanding job of putting the power down and keeping the chassis stable.

Oh sure DF - you get to be Capt. Obvious.

I imagine it's my own damn fault for being away from this forum for so long
