Is Eibach lowering springs killing me Ok so I have eibach lowering springs on my car now with some relocated trailing arms, bilstein shocks, and panhard bars. The car really pulls the nose up when you get on it from a roll and really puts you back in the seat from a dig so I was just wondering if I changed out the lowering springs to some v6 fbody springs or eibach drag launch springs how much would that help my 1/4 mile time? O I ran a 2.37 60 ft my first time at the track and I was on some rinkin raptors and spinning most of first.

You are going to have a difficult time hooking a 6 speed car on anything but a full slick or ET Street(not the radial). The lowering springs are not the ideal setup for drag racing, but the tires are what's "killing you" at the moment. How much racing do you plan on doing?

. I just picked up some MT ET street radials and im going to head back to the track as soon as I can to see what I run. I knew the tires were killing me but I was just wondering if the suspension is killing me as well. Hell I ran the MT on the street for about a week and the car hooks of the line at 3500 RPM and my 1-2 shifts dont spin a bit, all it does now is put me back in the seat

I know and I am just wanting this 10 bolt to last me till this winter then im going to build it up, or try to find a cheap used 9 or 12 bolt. If it breaks it breaks im not to worried about it just gives me an excuse to build it better. lol I usually dont fix something if its not broken.
