Default Drag suspension vs auto-x suspension

What would you guys say is the main difference between drag and auto-x suspension set ups? I honestly cant think of any. If you set up a car for drag, then it will perform great in auto-x, and vice versa.

Hmm...there are tons of differences. Spring rates and damping settings should be different. You benefit from sway bars for autox, not really for drag. No real point in strut tower braces for drag racing either. Traction bars aren't for autox. Alignment settings should be way different.



The more seriously you get into either type of racing the less similar the suspensions will look. There are some pretty specialized drag racing suspension parts, most of them just aren't available as an off the shelf part for a Tiburon.
