Proper rear spring adjustment for launching I have'nt adjusted my rear springs since I bought my car 9 months ago. The front are lowered to look nice but the back looks almost stock heigth. I am just worried about helping my launch, and not so much concerned about how it looks. To get a better 60' should I lower it or leave it kinda raised up? The rear springs are Eibach ground control 125lb's. The front are actually a pair of Eibach pro springs. Weird huh.
Thanks, Hummer

i'm a bit confused..adjust ride height using your current springs in the rear? you can't..its not a coilover setup in the back..you'd need to change springs all together.
I have my stock springs in the back with Hal shocks. I have the stock spring cups removed and 1" heater hose up there instead to lower the back down a bit.
in terms of your 60 foot..stock springs in back really work best in most applications..

The way you set the rear is you want to be able to see 1 1/2 INCHES OF SHAFT from the shock. This way the shock can work when you launch the car and not top out the shock.

OK, I see what you have, but it looks more designed for road racing rather than drag racing. On your kit, did you have to do any fabrication or was it sent ready to install? Are you using their shocks or others?
