which springs should i run in the rear? i have ws6 springs and eibach drag launch springs but can buy V6 springs if need be. the eibach are installed right now. should they stay or should they go? Strange single adjustables in back and Afco's up front with 250 pound springs. still on the aluminum block with next to NO weight up front.

Some guys seem to like the eibach springs and they also seem to get their cars to work well.
Madman told me either V6 springs or 150 lb/in 10 inch tall 2 1/2 inch spring. I believe you will also need adjusters to make the latter spring work.

all i want is the car to hook the best it can with what i have, my lanch needs to be perfect!! i have a 4000 stall, strange single adj front shocks, comp 3-way rears, umi subframe connecters, moser m9 with dbl adj torque arm and relocate bracket, midwest double adj lower control arms and 26x11.5 15 hoosier quick time pros.
i plan to set the front shocks on the loosest setting, the rears at 50/50 and the pinion yoke (according to madman) at -2 degrees. it seems the middle hole on the lca relocate brackets will be the starting point as well. how does that sound?
i have full slicks so not spinning will not be a problem (with only 385hp), but i want the best 60ft i can.
and to improve times what should i do next??

LOL... just found it today... HOLY resurrection... But maybe the best one I have ever found... this is good info... I got questions... if anyone can answer, if you can get the rear low enough, is it better to have the rear springs be stiff, but still get the transfer from the front? Seems like the stiffer the springs are, the more the rear would be pushed, so long as you can get the front weight to rock back onto it...
Also, I was told to find the center of balance of the car, and point the LCA's directly at that center of balance, no matter the angle... it should depend on where your center of gravity is...
Can someone help?
