Springs

I have Eibach Sportline springs and I love the look but heard they werent good for the 1/4 mile track. I was looking at the Eibach drag launch springs but it doesnt say thatit lowers your car at all and i dont want the 4x4 look again lol. What would be some suggestions for a nice lowered look and also good for the 1/4 mile track springs?

Dunno how much you are looking to spend, but coilovers would be the best of both worlds. You can get whatever spring rate coils you need to have good weight transfer, then set the ride height by turning the coilovers up or down. Not the cheapest way to go, but it's pretty much the best option

I've heard of guys running fox 4cyl front springs for the strip, dunno how this affects driving when you aren't at the track though, personally I wouldn't want them. Dunno what to tell you on the rear springs.

Pretty much, you have your choice of low stance or weight transfer with conventional springs, you usually can't get both at the same time. Maybe someone else will chime in, cuz I don't know of any springs that make the car sit nice but also have good weight transfer.

if you like the look keep 'em & work around them. will they hurt you at the track? defenately but not by all that much. any springs that'll give you the same (non4x4) look & really work at the track will be miserable on the street. (as in cut fox 4cyl front & cut factory rears/etc). plenty of guys running very respectable times on lowering springs, you just gotta decide where your going with your car, if its mainly a street car that you take to the track sometimes leave it alone. if your going to the track every weekend get the drag springs & deal with the factory ride height.
