It doesn't change the comparison between the three stock springs sets and the Koni set, but comparing wheel rates does make it simpler to see what the springs are really doing, and it's just better...

The SS 1LE is 178 and 539, for a ratio of .330.
The regular SS is 137 and 577,...

Ah, got it. Thanks for clarifying.

So to the OP, I would probably not spend any money/time at all on different rear swaybars for drag racing mods. Just figure out a way to make the end links...

The weight of suspension pieces is completely irrelevant for your (and most other people's) purposes. So for launching, I would think you want to do two things: 1) eliminate any hop if possible, and...

What do you really want the car to do better than it currently does with stock suspension? "Dig and roll" doesn't respond well to lowering or stiff front springs/shocks. You don't need aftermarket...

I think the main reason for the 7/32" requirement is to dissuade tire companies from making a rubber compound that's too soft and unstable to work at that tread depth. IOW, it's not really about the...

I didn't list the eLSD recalibration because that's now legal in F Street. But it's worth getting. Good point about the 19x12s and 305s (also fixed my typo on the tire size in my post above).
