Eibach Prokit for Drag/Dig racing?? Is that nuts?
I have a Eibach Pro-kit on my car... it looks great compared to stock ride height..... well... I am getting the Iron 408 put in and adding more weight to the front ....... who thinks this prokit will seriously keep me from running good times at the track?
what would you suggest to do to get a better 60ft? for cheap.

So you are saying that just because Sam Strano Road races and sets road racing combos he couldn't do a drag style setup? I am sure he would know how to he just does a lot in the Road racing world. Thy guy is a suspension freak!!

please dont compare road racing suspensions to drag suspensions...
Mike, what do you do to get 1.3's??
Torque arm, relocation brackets (since it is lowered), Panhard bar, LCA's, and a Wolfe or UMI Adj. Torque Arm....... will that be enough to cut 1.4's and 1.3's??? if the power is there?
i dont want to hang big air... just raise the front a small bit
you know... i might get scarrrrred sittin on the back bumper!!!

using QA1 fronts with 275# springs in the front and 150# springs in the rear with wolfe adjustable spring perches.
never really had any luck with the prokit in my car or the black TA that we took to the track a few times. just didn't seem like it transfered weight as well as it should, ofcourse that car had TOTALLY stock suspension otherwise...
