Default eibach drag launch vs. stock front springs

I bought a set of front bilsteins revalved to 90/10's. They came with eibach drag launch springs on the front. The best 60ft I've cut with these so far is a 1.72 60 ft. I cut a 1.74 on stock front springs and shocks. Would stock front springs work better and would it lower it a bit? It looks like the front end has lifted with these springs. I was thinking about swapping in my stock front springs. Yes I know the way to go is QA1's or Strange's, but that's not in my budget right now as my rear end is about to explode lol. Here's a picture with the eibach drag launch springs in the front and stock rear springs with rubber isolators.


before with eibach coilovers in the front and eibach pro kits in the rear with rubber isolaters. This set-up had no squat and was horrible at the track!! best was a 1.8 60ft with this set up.

Question is what tires are you getting 1.7x 60' times with?

You are clearly leaving a ton on the table with that tire and those 60' times. Now clearly I can't say do this and miracles will happen I can only give suggestions. I can see by your post ride height is bothering you some so my first suggestion would be put the stock springs back in it all the way around and if the rear is still higher in the rear than the front do the heater hose mod. Give that a shot and see how it goes.
