Ok, there have been lots of advice about the best drag suspension setup like hard front and soft rear, and some say the opposite, according to my calculations, i would think that it would be better to have a stiff suspension in the rear so it doesnt drop so quick causing the front to raise up leading to tire hop. Am i right or am i wrong? Maybe it's better to have stiff suspension front and rear? Let me know what ya think......

You want a stiff rear-end of course. But you want a stiffer front to create better traction with the pavement. Also a very stiff front will majorly reduce wheel hop which is bad to a launch, and beats up on your axels as well. It's also easier to control a FWD car with a stiffer front than rear, because with a stiffer rear, it can come around on you when you least expect.
