I was wondering how adversly putting a set of drag springs onto my car would affect handling compared to the stock springs? Any help is appreciated.

They aren't bad on the street. The make the rear end squat a lot more though. Conering is diminished a little but it is by no means dangerous. My car seems to ride like a caddy now. It made it a lot more smooth. I noticed about a 1inch drop in the rear and .5 in the front. I made it look right by putting shorter skinnies in front. I run welds all the time. With Wal-mart tires on my stock rims, I can launch pretty well. There is a night and day difference over stock. With just drag-launch springs as my suspension mods (no shocks/struts), I can launch hard at 5500 RPM with just a small chirp while spraying. Can you say new rear-end soon?

they will be fine except if you push them to the max on corners, they are made to slam power to the ground in a straight line, so it will sacrifice cornering slightly, my friend has some on his 5.0 and it handles fine on the street
