Default spring question

What type of springs would be good for a daily driver and some track time? I need something that will be good for handling as well as drag. I have the Eibach Pro Kit right now, it's okay but not that much of a fan of it. I was looking at the Strano springs but was just wondering what other options I have.


I have KYB AGX's with my Pro kit and Suspension Techniques Swaybars (1 3/8th in. Front, 1 in. Rear)

Try a set of rear Control arm relocation brackets , or put stock spring back in the rear with/without the "Hose Mod"LB
Also you could just disconnect the front sway bar end links for the track.

The BMR springs are similar to the Eibach springs. I am looking for something a little different. So far the Strano springs are still my number 1 choice. Still looking for other options though.

Hello, just to let you know our springs are quite a bit different than the Eibachs. The BMR springs have a front rate of 550lbs, rear rate of 160lbs and the Eibach ls1 prokit front rate is 400lbs and the rear is 135lbs. also our springs have a lifetime guarantee. If you have any questions please let me know.

There is nothing wrong with the stock springs, and IMO would be an acceptable choice given you want "good handling and drag". On stock springs with the proper shocks and swaybars (or just shocks alone even) you can have an amazing handling car that also rides better than stock.
NO lowering spring is made strictly for drag racing because a drag spring would be tall and soft, opposite of a lowering spring. But if you are dead set on a different lowering spring I would go with Strano's, I love mine.
