torsion bars / drag racing
Multi-adjustable, aluminum drag shocks for the front can not only tune the rate of front end lift, but also front end compression. The singles have a fixed, STIFF compression with a tunable extension. Then there are the double-adjustables. Neither are cheap, but it makes tuning much easier. Usually, the faster you go, the stiffer shocks that you need, front & back.
OEM shocks are usually too soft on both sides. A friend smacked his Moroso pan braking at the finish line with OEM shocks! He tore up some engine bearings on the next pass. A stiff compression won't eliminate the possibility, but it will help a lot over OEM, regardless of what torsion bars you have. Stiff front compression also helps hold the "transfer" and compress slowly to reduce the chance of the rear tires unloading. (Helps control porpising & wheelhop.)
