Hey guys, I just picked up some HKS drag coilovers, does anybody have any experience with these with normal everyday driving on the street? Just looking for some feedback so i know what I'm in for. I'm assuming the spring rates in the rear are going to be soft, would stiffening the rears help with cornering?

Thanks

I also did as well. No clue about the rates either. I hope they are streetable.

In my experience not. I had a set on a s13 and they all blew out within 100 miles on the street.

wow thats not good, any other experiences? I have heard that they are ok until you hit any kind of a large bump in a corner, then the car gets a little jumpy, any truth to this?

I think stiffining the coilovers up will correct this with the low spring rate that these have?

if you think about what they're intended for, which is a stick smooth surface for 1320 feet.......the general road conditions probably aren't ideal for those coilovers.

Why not pick up some normal street coilovers?

if you want coilovers for cornering and street i think those are the kind you should buy, might as well sell the drag coilovers to someone who needs them for a drag car. not tryin to be a dick, im just throwin this out there

Thanks for the replys guys, i should have done more research before I picked these up, it was more of an impulse buy than anything, they were just sitting there looking so sexy and I just had to buy them.

I just figured how much different could they be? but it looks like its more than I bargained for.
