Suspension Setup

I'm shopping around for suspension for my S5 FC and I'm gonna go with an adjustable shock (Tokico) and some kind of linear spring. I've been doing some reading and I'm wondering if I need pillow mounts if I'm using my car for drag? I've just gotten some new tires so I don't want them to ware uneven and I'm very concerned about my rear camber, but is it enough to just replace the bushings with the energy suspension kit or should I get the Racing Beat rear adjusters and what not? I don't want to go all crazy and buy all of these different adjusters when I won't really need them since it seems that they are all for auto X.

Most lowering springs wont give you enough negative camber that you'll need a rear camber adjusters. I've heard some good things about the tanabe springs, but other than that I've had experience with eibach pro kit springs as far as standard lowering springs. I think you're heading in the right direction with linear springs as opposed to progressives.

get coils. I should have the first time don't make the same costly mistake as me. Especially if you are going to run different tire combos for the track and the street. Adjustible is the way to go.
