That looks good to me. What Gen are they again? Do you have coilovers or shocks and springs?

You can do the hose mod if you havent already and that will drop it a little bit more .

I'm gonna do the QA1's but out of curiosity what is the affect of trimming the drag springs to a desired height?

reducing the number of coils will change the spring rate plus the way it's cut might change the Modulus of Rigidity of the spring material again altering the spring rate. I would just get new ones

Don't buy the drag launch springs they make the car way too high and are based off the LT1 stuff and are not the right spring rate.

Buy the QA1/HAL front adjustable drag shock with a 275# spring and put an adjustable shock in the rear with an antiroll bar and you can use an air bag in the right rear in the stock springs until you have an anti roll bar that will keep the rear level.

Default Strano

As laready stated, the QA1's are the way to go, if your car is a pure drag car, maybe? I'd do Strano's coil overs personally.

Anywho, I ended up getting the whole QA1 setup with 300# springs. Rides nice and launches pretty nutz too. With stock springs in rear with isolators removed. I like the ability to raise and lower my front as I please. I can post some pics for you'all if you want. Just let me know here or in a pm.

Ski
This would be my choice of setups also.
