Typically a drag shock has more rebound than a stock shock, and a shock used for handling has less rebound than stock or drag shock, therefore keeping the car planted. You want the ass end to squat and you want the front end to lift. Thats why my old beat up shocks are great for launching. It really varies from car to car. Like I said, if the spring is too soft, it will bounce and cause you to lose traction. Some people run real soft front ends with hard rears, so the front comes up and stays up, while the rear stays planted and doesnt rebound alot. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/andrew-smokin-get-to-work/244658)._
