Lowering springs and drag racing ?
I have a set of Mac lowering springs on my car right now. I am planning on taking them out and installing something else, i would like to keep a lowering spring because i run 18 inch boyds on the street. I was wondering if any of you have had any luck with other springs that worked well at the drag strip also. I have all Spohn adjustable rear suspension and KYB 8 way adjustable shocks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I used Hotchkis springs for awhile drag racing and got the same et's and 60's with em as with stock springs.
I just went to stock springs with one coil cut off the front and the rubber support removed from the rear and am getting the same times as with the Hotchkis and stock uncut springs.
Have you tried the Macs at the track yet?

I have ran the Mac springs at the track numerous times, they are way to stiff my best 60ft the other night was a 2.0 w/nittos. I had nitrous last year and pulled a 1.71 but that was the best. And it is a 4l60e.
