Anybody got pictures of their cars with Drag Launch springs? I really liked the stance of my C springs but I'm going to be running 90/10's in the front and 50/50's in the back and I'm worried that the C springs are going to hold me back from the best weight transfer. I want to see the stance of Drag launch springs to see if I should go all out and get a set of them.
Thanks

You could just trim them a bit. Iam planning on trimming my stock V8 rears and was going to use 4 banger trimmed springs in the front. Think I am doing coil overs instead though.

yea, but I really dont want to spend the coin to buy another set of springs. I have a set of "drag springs" in my 88 now. They are eibachs and was told by the previous owner that they are drag launches but they are black and the part number isn't coming up anywhere.

If they are black and they are eibachs they are the pro kit springs.

Just run drag shocks and struts and an air bag in the rear passenger spring, use whatever drag springs you want in the back but use stock 4 cylinder springs in the front and that'll let the front end drop down so it's not raked but still let it rise good for launches.

You're welcome

I think Ima just keep the C's I got. I dont have an air bag now so that kinda sucks. I may do the four banger spring combo but well see. I'm not too sure about what Im gonna do yet.

Most people DO cut them before putting em in because they are so hard to put in. I had them put in (HTMI) and they needed a special tensioner to do it.

i was thinking about trimming my eibach launch springs, the fronts, to get a good look, but i didnt because i was worried that the springs are designed to work at that length that they come in... idk for sure but if i were the op ide look into it. your car looks awesome with the new wheels, if you drop that nose a bit that would even better, but coilsprings are totally the way to go.
