info about drag suspension for a daily driver?
 
Im considering the Eibach drag kit with the airbag in the RR spring, and I want to install drag shocks as well.

Is anyone running this setup? Is it OK on the street? I really dont care about handling I just want to launch like a MOFO.

What shocks would you reccomend? The 90/10's or the 70/30's This is my daily driver but I really dont care about the way it handles, I want a good 60ft.

I have the Eibach drag launch kit with 70/30s up front and 50/50's in the back. Its cut a 1.69 60' on a worn out track lok on 10" slicks.

It doesnt handle super good, but MUCH better than I expected it to w/ the drag suspension.

It out handles my dads 96 lincoln, but isn't quite as good as my 94 integra.

its definatly nothing to worry about.

I have the same setup with skinnies in the fron too and it gives me no prblems on the street. Just don't try to turn like and indy car and you'll be fine.

I've heard it raises your car up and also causes it not to sit quite level. Is this true?

Well, my front end is a little high and With a full tank of gas, it sits a little down on the pass side but I thik that is cause the tank holds more on that side. I just never fill it above half and don't worry about it. Just depends on what you are willing to sacrifice I suppose.

I have the Eibach drag launch kit with 70/30s up front and 50/50's in the back. Its cut a 1.604 60' on 26" x 11.5" ET STREETS, with the 4:30's I hope to go sub 1.50.

It doesnt handle that bad, but as stated above don't try to be Mario Andretti.

My car sits level maybe a little lower in the front even, just makes sure the springs are installed right and you won't have any problems, I believe Sky's settled down a bit after his install. I would go 70/30's over the 90/10's unless you plan to have a heavy motor up front, the 90/10's tend to keep the front end up a little higher creating a higher wind drag. If anything mine sits a little lower in the rear on the drivers side depending on how much air is in the spring.

I have the Eibach kit with 90/10's. It drives fine.

Thanks, looks like your but a different color..lol It's getting a alum wong this year and hopefully a paint job, then I'll be adding some N2O looking for the 10's, of course after I do the whole rear. How much N2O are you using?

Thanks for all the info guys, I really appreciate it. I think I'll get the 70/30's now. My car is lowered right now but I need a little more clearance for my longtubes so if the Eibach drag kit lifts my car a little I could care less.

I am spraying 150. I am running lean up top because I am not any quicker than when I was jetted for about 110-120 hp.
