Exclamation Eibach Launch Springs - Thoughts?

ok so i was looking to change my springs and was wondering what peoples thoughts were about them? do they really work as described? would they be acceptable for a DD that sees track time pretty often? i want QA1's but funds are not there. also post pics of cars with the launch springs just to give me an idea of what mine will look like.

thanks

That is with a 275 60 15 and the rear spring isolators removed. Still sits pretty high don't it?

These springs work very well on the street and come with an air bag in the right rear spring. I cut 1.8s with the 10 bolt and 275 50 15 Nittos. The MT DRs are way better, the car just hooks with em.

They are DRAG springs. They do what they are designed for very well.
Either care about "ride quality" or care about getting the car out of the hole.

You can't have both.

They handle fine and are not dangerous on the street, but no it won't ride like a cadillac.

They made my old 98 camaro Hook like a Mo'Fo...

I like them but they are a single purpose part.

i was talking abou the ride down the track, the *** end would bounce all over the place on the big end on a radial, as slick wasn't as bad.

They are junk. I've had low 1.20 60' with stock springs.
