They work extremely well for hooking on the street. I don't know about at the track. I do know the ones I installed raised the car about an inch.

I ran them in my LT1 car with some cheap kyb adjustables all around and had good luck with them. I cut consistent 1.35s to 1.40s with 28x10.5 et drags,leaving off the t-brake on a 250 shot.This was a drag only settup though,with spohn t/a,drag bar,lcas,etc.They do raise the ride height though.I sold them to a friend of mine because I minni tubbed the car,but he is happy with them as well,except for the change in ride height.
