Ride quality with Eibach Drag kit is...

SlowStang2 · 10-18-2001, 10:03 AM

Well, yes its a drag kit, but does ride quality suck? And how much does it lower the car? Am i better off getting the $239(summit price) Sport kit one?

I would say the ride quality is softer over the stock springs. It rides a wee bit more like a LIncoln, but not quite. The front raised about an inch or so, and the rear might have come up a tad too. Pics of my car are in the link in my sig.

Yup. Those drag cars in magazines that are nicely hunkered down on their front tires have coil-overs.

Don't try cutting down the springs either. I have heard a few people here advise this. If the spring is shorter it will have less stored energy and not do a "drag springs job" as well anymore.
