they will raise ur front 2 inches and the back will stay the same, but I did have 4 cyl springs in the back before. It WILL give you traction but the stance isn't exactly to die for. I should balance it out with a nice 460 sittin up front

im cuttin a coil off the frotn srprings to get a better stance.. but it gives insanely good tracion i want DR's now
I am sure he meant 1/8th. I know a lot of people who have had them in many different cars. The only thing I don't like is that to put things simple, the ride hight is never right hardly ever. That is why I went coil over in the front. It's suprising how the front ride hight effects traction. The front end lower than the rear is not good for traction, it pushes the weight forward.
I have the Moroso springs. You have to "cut to fit" the front and the rear sit too high. I'm just going to fill the rear gap with a 28" tall tire, but doesn't look right with a 26". Will go rear coil over soon.

I'm running low 10's in the 1/4 mile and I have Eibach drag springs and 7-way adjustable strauss struts on the back and some good ol simple auto zone 4 cyl struts and springs on the front. It hooks GREAT on the strret with some drag radials and amazing on slicks at the track.

I run high 11's on regular street tires(245/45 federal 595's) on ponys. I'm using stock struts, stock shocks, quads still there, steeda rear sway bar and control arms and the good 'ol Eibach drag launch springs with 11 psi in the bag. They work pretty great if you ask me. Almost a 1.8 60' on regular street tires....

I ran the Eibach kit at one time and it lowered my car on all 4 corners, the worst thing to do is cut them since they are made to be that height.
If you want to run that fast in the 1/4 you'll want a set of GT springs, an anti roll bar and a good rear suspension set-up. A antiroll bar will help a ton and you need to use springs that have the same rate. A coi over would be bext but I am not sure if you want to go that far.

2002whitegt said:i dont why people say that the springs raise the car, i ran the drag springs in my old coupe and it sat nice and low,
here are some pics
Never was able to take to the track but it hooked pretty good on the street
The stance on that car is nothing short of amazing.

I thought of going with Eibach Drag Springs but was afraid that the rear will look like it's sagging, due to paranoia.
I stayed with my stock GT springs because i've was advised that they will do just fine. Instead, i got Lakewood's Drag Shocks (50/50 rear & 70/30 front)and HPM upper & lower control arms. I also relocated the battery to the passenger side in the trunk. The shocks and control arms appear to have slightly lowered my '93 GT about a half inch or so.
It drives well and hooks nicely on the street with BFG 245/50 KDW's. It surprisingly corners very good as well but probably because of my Kenny Brown Chassis Stiffening Kit.

I've got the Eibach Drag Sping set on mine with the airbag (which I have yet to ever actually use). Not a big fan of the ride quality at all, but I can definitely feel the car squat a lot better than my previous '89 notch did with its stock springs. No problems at all with wheel hop, either - all original quads, LCA's, and UCA's, even with the insane number of miles I've got on 'em.
The front end does seem to stick up higher than it should, but it's kinda hard to gauge exactly how much because my front tires are off-sized (215/60/R15) compared to the rears (225/60/R15).
Not sure if I would recommend 'em to anyone over stock GT rear springs and 4-banger front springs, but the pretty blue paint on 'em is nice to admire when you're poking your head under the car.
