    Eibach launch kit

    Can anyone tell me if Eibach's Launch kit lowers the car like the Pro kit does? I have a 95' and want to lower the car about 2" and was wondering what the best springs would be. Occasional driver.

    If you go lowering it 2" you will need offset rack bushings and such due to the severe bump steer you will have. Other than looks, there is no reason to drop it that much, it'll handle better with an inch to an inch and half drop than 2". The launch kit is designed to store and release energy on launch, and it does this by using a slightly longer and I think softer spring than stock. Your car will not be lowered with the launch kit unless you cut a few coils. I like the FMS "B" springs for a compromise in handling, looks, and drag strip performance.

    The drag launch kits will raise the car up a little. If your looking to lower and make it hook you should look into coil overs.

    I'm going to install 15' Prostars and just want to close the gap between the tires and fenders.
