Default I want to lower my car but isnt my 60ft going to get worse

I want to lower the car but i was told that by having lower spring that there more stiff because they need to be so the car wont bottom out. My car is only drivin to the track only which can range from 45m to 2hrs. I have kyb adj. all for corners stock springs. Id like to hear some input on lower the car .
I really dont care about lowering the rear cause i like the way it sits but id like to drop the front end atleast 1.5" . im just afraid my car wont hook as good , cause the spring aint going to let my shock go all the way up meaning slow weight transfer to the Rear. I'd like to get QA1 for the fronts but i dont have the cash for that

it really depends on if you have the supporting suspension mods to accommodate for the change in pinion angle. if you do, then no, it won't hurt your 60'. if not, then i would say yes.

get some qa1's...keep your eyes out on here and you'll find a good deal. I got mine for 250-springs and shocks (front). There is an article floating around also on how they lower your 60' times...

well do you wanna be fast, or look good? sometimes there's a tradeoff. i will say when i lowered my car, my 60' suffered. i was embarrassed when a stock suspension car was cutting 1.60 60' s stall ONLY. So i called up QA1. goin on this weekend hopefully

Hello, we have several customers cutting 1.20 60' times with our springs installed. Our springs give you a 1" drop and that will not effect your 60' times. We are currently running a sale on our springs. $174.95 for all four or $79.95 for the rears. We have very few sets left. If your interested please give me a call.
