dont you have drag specific coilovers on your car? what spring rates do those come with?
mine is custom. drag is 18k rears.
12k front, 14k rear with 16k adjustable dampers. the ultimate in cornering and also drag. not to mention i do also have front and rear swaybars.. as well as rt-615s, lsd, and traction bar (were originally made for cornering, not straightline) etc the list goes on.

I wasn't trying to be an ass. I was saying that it is much cheaper and more fun to make it yourself as appose to sending a couple hundred dollar on something you can weld together for less than $20.

I do like the direction Mike travels, but I also like to change it up sometimes. I already upgraded my suspension from Eibach pro kit to Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables and some Ground Control coilovers. They're no Teins or anything, but I tried Mike, gosh! ha ha well anyways I have an lsd, planning on getting some sway bars asap, new crossmember-cos stock one is poopy, and some traction bars. Looking for some good products and places to buy from.

well youre headed in the right direction. crossmemeber/traction bar on a EF.. i would only use the full race one. other chassis it doesnt really matter but it does on a EF.

btw, i hate tein. i think theyre junk.
HAHA.
Any certain brand you would suggest in particular for the traction bar setup?
Thinking about some SuspensionTechniques sway bars and maybe traction bar setup for now--my drag radials don't spin too much though Have to install my Function7 LCAs I got once I receive everything else as well...

as far as crossmember/traction bar i already suggested FULL RACE brand only on a EF.
you dont want this breaking on a EF unlike other chassis. very dangerous and ive seen many other brands break but full race is the best there is and you wont have any worries of it breaking.

Sounds good, didn't realize that was the brand name, sorry.
That is a nice setup. I don't dig that I have to buy a different radiator unless its going to be tilted back, don't want my stuff looking half-assed. $300 radiator and a $500 traction system....shiiiiiiiit. That's a lot of money to just get some more traction. I don't have many problems with traction now so IDK about all that. If it came with an innovative mounts style crossmember that accepts 92-00 stock half size radiators I'd like it. Not really needing a super badass radiator since my oem one never lets my car get hot anyways.

of course you can use a 92-00 radiator with it and not tilted back. theyre mainly to help get rid of wheelhop.
i dont know about a koyo one like you had because that damn thing is like twice as thick as a normal aluminum radiator. any cheap aluminum radiator off ebay will do the job just great. or any oem half sized radiator for that matter.
