Morosso does. By drag springs I assume you mean long travel soft springs. They allow the front end to rise quickly when combined with 90-10 shocks.
I have a set in my car.

Vans Steel sells a steel rear spring and they’re a supporting vendor. I think they will help you select the correct spring for your use. :D

I think that he is mostly interested in the front spring setup... He wants to setup his car for drag racing.. A steel rear spring is way too heavy for drag racing.. Every pound that you can save counts... I'd recommend the stiffest possible rear spring and a soft drag spring setup for the front

:rolleyes: Funny. I met with the guy running Vans Steel back in ’96. He said the opposite. He said I wanted a stiff steel spring and get rid of that fiberglass spring for drag racing.
Now a friend of mine races his C3 in the 11s and use the fiberglass spring. Watching his burnout with slicks shows no wheel hop and he likes the way it hooks up. So maybe the power range for this difference is much higher. :eek:
