need stiffer rear suspension

I have a 98 Civic Ex Coupe that I've been building for 1/4mi. I'm experiencing serious front wheel hop. So I need to soften my front suspension and stiffen my rear. Is there any kit that will allow me to do both?

Ride height is not particularly important. I don't want it so low I can't put it on my trailer.

You first need to post what suspension setup you are on at the moment.....

I have seen rear drag coil overs from Blox, they have stiffer rates

What kind of shape are your tires in?

You don't want to go softer in the front if you're on stock suspension. Being a drag car, you'll want a pretty high rear spring rate. For the front you can keep it mildly soft(in comparison to the rear) and probably best to get a traction bar. If you don't already, stiffer motor/trans mounts will also help reduce wheel hop. Being a FWD drag car, I can't imagine you'd need crazy shocks/suspension. But, I'd still go with Koni/GC setup. Pick your spring rates and they'll last you forever.
