I just got a set of KYB shocks for the front and adjustable shocks for the rear. I'm looking for a good set of springs that won't cost too much.. I'm not really looking for something to lower the car, just perform better.
I have an Eibach pro kit on my car and it handles just as good as a vette' if not better, lol and the funny thing is i have Mt ET steets on the back and still hard to slide under really hard acc. around corners.I say go with the prokit because ya they do lower it but they still give you excelent cornering ability.ALso, if u want bite, get subframes or upper and lower control arms
if you don't want very much drop, Ford B's or C's don't drop very much from what I've seen, Eibach pro-kit is about 1 1/4", also, H&R Race springs only drop about an inch.
Edit: just saw you wanted a better launch, if so, then the Eibach Drag Launch springs would work really well.
On a side note, this "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." sh** is starting to piss me off.
