A good drag spring that lowers the car too? Anyone heard of this? I'm wanting to lower my car and will probably do hals shocks to lower the front ride hieght, but what springs should i use? Are the hal drag springs any ood, or do people just use these as default? I've heard of the eibach pro-kit being used on drag cars....anyone have any experience with these at the track?
But, like i said, i want to lower the car and maybe even better its characteristics at the track, is this possible?

Re: A good drag spring that lowers the car too? I have the same question. Obviously the Hal's will lower the front. How do you lower the back to make the car level and not hurt your weight transfer?

Re: A good drag spring that lowers the car too? Black Sunshine used to have Eibach rears (the lowering kind). Dont know if he kept em on for the 11.4x run, but I would bet that Hals front and rear with the proper LCA/Pinion angle geometry would run just fine.
Re: A good drag spring that lowers the car too? I'm wanting to lower my car as well since it has the major off-road look, and I'm going to go with the Eibach pro kit and Hal shocks on all four corners. The front Hals will make the biggest difference, by far, in the weight transfer. My T/A was really consistent with the Hals dialed in at the track. I cut a 1.53 and three 1.54's in one night. This was with stock springs in the rear and drag springs in the front. I didn't like the drag springs because the car sat too low and the ride was way too bouncy on the road.
Just be sure to get a set of LCA relocation brackets, like Ryan said, and you should be fine. I'm not going to do this until I'm running ET Drags, though, so I'm sure not to have any traction problems. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: A good drag spring that lowers the car too? Get the prokit, it seemed to help me out off the line, LOL. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> I cut consistent 1.65 60's and a 1.58 60' in my 6 speed. <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />
