lowering a dragcar
lowering a dragcar Ok guys I have my car setup up for dragracing all tubular parts. I have been running stock v6 springs in front to this point with 50/50s and upper pads pulled in the rear. Ok heres the thing I have been wanting to lower it but cant decide if I want use some springs like eibach drag launch or one of the sponsors. Or should bite the bullet and go for coilovers? The car has a built motor with spray and is a M6 with 12bolt rear but havnt had it to the track yet! lol

eibach drag launch springs will make your car higher not lower. I used Hotchkis 1" lowering springs with Comp 3 ways out back, and strange DA shocks with 300# springs up front. Will eventually go wit strange DAs all around
I may go with the strange coilovers myself the price dont look to bad on them.

Do your rear tires rub any. Mine sets lower with the v6 springs in the front and the pads pulled in the rear but I like that tucked look.

Verdad Gallardo They havent rubbed yet but I rolled the fenders, and used all adjustable rear suspension to center them. I can drop the front more but it makes it a bitch to get in the driveway/trailer or jacking up the car. I do have the rear insulators in. It was to close to the 1/4 panel and the tires need room to grow.

so whats the deal with the whole v6 front springs? I too have been throwing back and forth the idea of lowering but as im a drag racer at heart i havent been able to pull the plug on the idea.
My shocks were blown and thats what that had at the pull-apart.lol It lowered the car some and didnt hurt my 60ft any so havnt really worried about them.
