Being a drag racer the ride, soft or hard mean noting to me.
what matter is weight transfer, to plant the rear slick hard and long enough to not slip at the starting line.
don't car about handling.
The stiff front end is holding me back may be causing some of my traction problem this year when i when from a 3000 stall to a 4200.....stock suspension just isn't cutting it any more.
last winter i replaced my old Super Stock Spring with some new one and when for 26/10/15 to a 28/10.5/15 slick but still have traction issue(thats all i can squeeze in to my stock wheel well opening with out modification ........so this winter i'm focusing on the front) end.
