Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? I have the eibach prokit and like the ride height, but I have hal's that can take care of that. I want to know if they'll help or not. Does anyone have any quantifiable results? I'm searching for 1.3 60's so anything that can help. Will a torque arm do any good?

Re: Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? I am well aware that I am not in the same league with for advice, but in my humble opinion the drag springs will rise up more easily for better traction in the back. If you already have Hal's, then you can adjust from there for settings in the front and back. Good luck in your quest and I know you will get a new ET. Best wishes, Kent.
Thanks for the assistance in the past, I am grateful. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? I think you should spend a lot of money on drag springs, a torque arm, lower control arms, phb, subframe connectors, a stb, lca relocators, etc. They will really help you go faster... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? Yeah the STB is next. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
You're just pissed because you haven't conquered that 10.82 yet even with that 396. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> If you wanna go faster, just swap me straight across!!!
I'm gonna go faster with a new cam, spool, and weight reduction, but I wanna be quicker out of the hole too!

Re: Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? Suspension is key in my mind. You can have all the power in the world, but if it doesn;t make it to the ground it is wasted. I have learned the hard way in the past.

I agree, but I would hardly call Carlsbad a track. You really need suspension and tire there. And alot of times that's not enough. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Have you dialed in your suspension with a particular spring/shock combo?

Re: Will I notice a difference with Drag Springs? Carlsbad definitely isn't the best place to start tuning your suspension. I will admit that I have more work tuning my front HALS/springs. This season I may replace my rear drag shock/spring combo in for HALS.
