Im looking at these springs for the first part of my suspension set up, has anyone heard things about these, or is anyone running these? How does that airbag thing in the back work? Ive seen it before but dont understand what it does or how it works. How much do these springs drop the car, and how is the street handling? are they sloppy off the track? And the last question is what shocks/struts would you all reccomend for me to run with these? Thanks guys!:SNSign:

thanks alot. eibachs are a quality product, and i would reallllly like some info on this setup. especially what that airbag deal does and how it works

bump for anyone that knows anything


I too am interssted in this setup. I can tell you what the airbag does but I have never driven a car with that kit before so I can't speak for the ride quality.

The air bag is used to tune the spring on the right hand side to try and even out the weight transfer so the car launches nice and straight. It does work well

If somebody has this kit please post to this topic. I want to know about the ride height and handling..
 
The Drag launch springs don't lower your car. I know a guy who has them and he ended up cutting his. I have a drag launch air bag in my RR spring and it works well. It tightens up the RR spring so on launch, both wheels have the same weight on them giving a better launch. Worth about .1 in the 60 ft on street tires, I'd guess. You adjust the pressure just like air shocks. Run about 5psi on the street and About 12psi when racing. It does stiffen up the rear springs though, even at 5psi.
 
Man, I searched through quite a bit of threads, and this is one of the few 4.6 related threads I found that had anything remotely useful about the Eibach Drag Kit. I only did a vague search though, maybe changing my search parameters would have gotten more. Theres a butt-load about them in the 5.0 forums though. I dont think they'll lower your car at all, maybe make it sit a little higher even :shrug:
