!!! Eibach Drag Launch Springs !!!

Skyman · 03-02-2001, 03:56 AM

Well I got them in with the 70/30's up front and 50/50's in the back. Traction is definalty much better, but the sad thing is my car looks like a 4x4 now. It sits so high! especially on the right side. I dont know why. Traction is definatly much improved! And handling isn't all that terrible. The car just doesnt look that good anymore.

Oh well. It only spins half of 1st gear now though, instead of till 3rd. Its funny, it makes it feel slower when it doesnt burn the tires.

The front-end will definately sit higher SKY but the end result as you've said,is much better weight transfer,which is what you want.

Wheelspin remember,is not getting you anywhere....even though it looks cool putting up lots of smoke

HUH??!?! It lowered my car all around @1"-1.5" and it is very light in the front. How much lower did your Racecrafts lower your car. As for the RH side being high, how much air is in your bag? Run arounf 9psi to start on the street, if it leaves crooked increase the bag pressure. My SSM bars did lower the point in the back a little, I guess this helped me a little but I am stumped on the front. Can you post a pic of before and after?

WOW! It raised the car! They told me it would retain the factory ride height. I am going to be ordering one along with lakewood 70/30 and I already have the 50/50 in the back. Man, you use to spin through 3rd and now only half way through 1st DAMN! I can't wait!

Damn, I can't measure them right now since the motor is out, it will be a coplue weeks yet before it is back in. Are the back springs installed in the same direction/way? Mine never sat high in the front, like I said it lowered it all around my long tubs aren't that high from the ground, I can't understand that your would be different. Did you see my reply at The Corral? It might help! Post some pic's as soon as you can.

The rear springs are different rates and as a result will sit different. Driving on the street will yeild unpredictable results in the rear.

I install a second bag in the left side so I could keep rear end stability on the street. Merely deflated to 5 psi at the track and aired up the right to what ever.

Never deflate your bag to less than 5 psi when driving, it will damage the bag. Don't inflate to more than 35 psi (mfg recomendations).
