Spring Questions Well i have been doing some research and i just cant find what im looking for.
I have an Eibach prokit on my car. It was on the car when i bought it.
i liked it at first until i realized that i really wanted to go fast, at the track that is. ive done relocators and adj LCA's and ive cut a 1.70 60ft on this set up, but i feel i could get more if i change my springs. these things sit WAY low. and im not looking to toss this car into any coners. I would like to raise my car from its current height about 1.5".
This is my Brother in laws car, and i like the way it sits and looks,with the rear end a little lower looking than the front. We havent touched the suspension, i think it has stock springs. just wondering should i find some Stock WS6 springs from somone, or another spring set up.

If you like the front but dislike the rear, you could try only placing the OE rear springs back on, however using the "rubber hose mod" instead of the stock spring isolators. It should then give you a decent rake that could help somewhat with acceleration weight transfer.

Or you could consider Strano springs, which are also (and always have been) 550 fronts, but out rears are about 6% softer @ 150 pounds which helps just that little more in sucking up shock to the rear tires. Drag springs are much taller and much softer, and if you want the ultimate drag springs, then I'd recommend Eibach Drag Lauch springs--but they aren't lower at all (in fact taller than stock), and handle like crap.
My springs, which have been around for more than few years now, were developed to both handle (since I'm an autocrosser), and get power down (since part of autox is digging out of 2nd gear corners--and ProSolo's have drag starts, complete with the tree--and we don't prep the surfaces with VHT, etc.).
