hi evereyone.. I've been searching the forums a lot lately trying to make up my mind on what to get because I want to redo my whole suspension/wheels/tires/brakes to a drag setup. right now I have steeda sport springs and tokico premium shocks/struts... my intercooler sits way too low in the front and i dont get good weight transfer right now plus I want to get weld draglites and i think its too low to fit them. My question is this.. I want to get 15X10 with 6.5 BS in rear with 295/50/15 DRs.. and some eibach drag springs.. BUT.. i want to do a coil over conversion on the front so that would deem the front springs useless if I get the kit.. soo do you think if I got coilovers in the front with say 175lbs springs and some lakewood struts/shocks.. would the steeda springs in the rear work for weight transfer and room for tires if I left them in there? also what are some good kits for coilover conversion and tubular a arms? also im not sure on what size skinnies to get in front.. i only drive this in summer on nice days and i dont corner fast. I appreciate any answers to any of my questions.. thanks

nothing will work well w/ a lowered car (that i've seen neway)

chances are the rears will cut into the sidewalls on launch, and you will have clearance probs just driving.

use 165r15's for cheap skinnies

Funny how we are going in opposite directions, i'm taking out my ei-bach drag springs at some point this summer to go with the set-up you already have. I will say that they work really well for weight transfer and i imagion the airbag is pretty useful, though i've never played with it.
