Spohn
Performance's Pro Drag adjustable front coil over kit for the 1982-1992 GM F-Body Camaro & Firebird sets a new, higher
standard of performance and quality.When we designed our coil
over system, we had two goals in mind. One was to provide the
performance capabilities needed for the toughest drag strips, the
second was to provide the strength and durability requiredfor
the
demands of a daily driven vehicle. We're proud to say that we have
accomplished both. If you are looking for the best drag race front coil
over suspension system for the third generation F-Body, you just found
it.
Once
thought of as a raceonly item, coil-over suspensions are now
considered the hot set-up for any highly tuneddrag car. The
combination of incredibleweight transferwith great
ride
quality is what one expects from a world class drag car. With a Spohn
"Pro-Drag" coil-over conversion kit you will have the
no-compromiseperformance you demand without paying a penalty
in
comfort.
The
"Pro-Drag" coil over system uses an extremely long (14"), yet extremely
lightspring for the most stored spring energy possible,
providing tremendous weight transfer and an incredible launch. With the
design of our system, we can use this extremely long spring, yet still
allow for over 1" of ride height lowering.
Warning!
All coil-over kits are not created equal. Compare the features of our
kit with any other manufacturer's kit and you'll quickly see the
differences. Careful attention to detail by ourdesign team is
why
the Spohn coil over kit avoids the design pitfalls of others. You can
always depend on Spohn Performance to provide you with the best parts
for your F-Body!
Other
coil over kits on the market use a top spring hatmounted
against
the stock upper strut mount. This places the entire weight of the front
of the car on to the stock strut mount. With street driving and vehicle
loads, these systems cause the stock strut mounts to distort, bend, and
fatigue, ending in parts failure. The Spohn "Pro-Drag" front coil
oversystemincludes our fabricated
spherical upper strut mounts
combined with a lower reinforcement plate that totally sandwiches and
reinforces the entire strut tower.
