Road AND qtr mile as in a trade off between both?

I have Spax RSX coilovers on mine, they boat a little but thats mainly due to the tyres lol It didn' seem to lean backwards too much either when Lee took it up Santa Pod, but to be fair it wasnt under full power.

for a V6 Id go coilovers so you can get some proper weight springs up front, Id guess at atleast 300lb...

I'd also say coilovers as the springs are cheap and you can play about with spring length and poundage

The standard spax springs on mine are ok. A little soft if anything, but usable. Not sure what the poundage is though!

Bilstein black are OEM-ish spec are they not? So will be about as effective as a fat chick on a treadmill.
