Re: difference between drag and full coilovers?

The "drags" are specifically made for straight line acceleration while the "full" is a general purpose coilover.

The spring rates and strut valving is way different between the two - drag 18K fronts others are 8k-12K. Drags are definately not make with comfort in mind.

Re: difference between drag and full coilovers?

so getting drags for a daily driver wouldnt be a good idea?...i mean, i wouldnt mind the rough ride too much...but if they were meant for a straight line, would that effect the performance on the street?

I wouldn't use them on the street if thats where most of the driving is done. The car will have terrible understeer and back breaking bounces.

Streets 10k front 8k rear
Sports 12k front 10k rear

Streets are ideal for street use, imagine that. Sports are better suited if the car is used for some racing.
