As Christian said a car set up for drags handles like a bag o shite. This seems to be the downfall of most of the RST's I have seen in that they are set up to look good ie low all round. That obviously doesnt help drags. I ran my FRST at the recent PF Brunters bash with coilovers on the back set as high as they go, 180lb springs, and bump/rebound set full on. Front tyres are 195/50-15 so when they are set at around 14 Psi you get tyre distortion and so get maximum rubber on the road. As the front arms are rose jointed i run the tracking set between 0 toeout to 1mm toeout.

I am currently waiting on a full coilover set from Leda with narrower front bodies so I can run a 205/50-15 soft compound road legal tyre. This will be corner weighted for two set-ups, drag and cornering and the positions marked on the bodies so I can switch between the two when required.
