I was wondering if they lower the car at all? I have a 97gt stick and 273 gears curently soon to be replaced with 373s (i have them already just waiting for the install. I was wondering how much of an improvement id see in the et with the springs? Would shocks or struts be a better idea? MY goal is 13.9 without power adder and without touching the heads. So i turn to the suspention.My curent mods are SLP catback, mac cai, march pulleys, wide mouth pleneum. My best run is 14.9 at 93 mph with a 2.385 60ft so i need to improve my launch.No drag slicks or radials. That time is without pullys so i might be able to get 14.8 if i get a good launch.

you can get alot better than that wit a better 60 ft. Drag springs dont usually lower the car, maybe a little bit, but thats not what theyre used for. practice your launching, it might be a little harder to cut shorter 60ft's with street tires. i cut a 2.0 60 ft on my stock tires, and ive heard of people doing better than that. if you want good suspension stuff go with steeda, im sure everybody can vouch for that

Thanks I was running 22psi in the tires on that run.Maybe lca?
My main goal is 13.9 N/pi so i hope i can do it with the gears O/R X or H pipe and practice launching my guess is im going to have to do some suspention work though. Steeda is great quality also I have a tri ax and love it.
