Suspension set up

Hi guys, i was just wondering ...
what kind of suspension set up that effect times on 1/4 miles

Assuming we are FWD cars and with adjustable coilovers

Soft Fronts | Hard Rears

Hard Fronts | Soft Rears

and what Ride height does matter?
---- flat height
being high or lowered ?
or lower on the front and high at the back

Cheers guys ...

SOft front, hard rear.

Lower front, higher rear.

thx for that :)

you can't too hard or soft either way because you will go backwards fast, would be nice to limit the travel if you can.. FWD suspension is ver tricky. 60 foot is so important. Is it a fairly stock street car or race car? what mods have you done already? what power do you make? all this plays a big part in the setup.

I think, engine mount and etd play big part for FWD suspension setup.

I have coilover, I tried to set 12 front and 2 rear with my tein flex I still got heaps of wheel hop, this was launching at 3k.

its a mildy mode street car ..
jsut wanted to try to get a good 1/4 miles time

Turbo Charged accord 190 Hp on wheel
Full boost on 3000 rpm
Tokico Illumina R adjustable damper and height
Stage 4 Clutch (6 puck)
8lbs flywheels

i did N/A and best time was 15.89 sec with
stock sus
lowered springs
134.5 hp on wheel

hopping for a better timming :)
