ok, well i just converted to a drag setup which consists of the following:

Eibach drag springs (w/ airbag)
southsides
lake wood 50/50 and 70/30

the front swaybar is still in use. but the rear looks so much lower than the fron of the car. granted the front tires are a bit taller (brand new kumho ecstas 711 245/50/16) because the rears are worn almost bald (but still 245/50/16) and i have aluminum heads, AND i have a bunch of crap in the trunk (jack, stands tool etc), the front looks WAY to high in the air. the springs ned to settle correct? do they still settle even though i bought them used? what can i do to either raise the rear or drop the front? thanks alot!

I dunno what to tell you. Put a pic up of your car. How does it handle? How "used" are these springs? Maybe 10 way adjustables would have been better? I dunno.

That's common with drag springs.....shoulda done more research I guess. You can cut some coils off in the front but you probably won't get the whole effect if you do so.

Yeah it is possible for his to be a little lower if he has iron heads. I know when I put my aluminum heads on I noticed a small difference in fender gap....but it shouldn't make a huge difference.

Make sure you installed the rear springs correctly and the pig tails are facing the correct direction.

That is a common problem for the Eibach launch kit. You will need to trim the coils or live with it. Racing ain't always pretty.
