Will lowering a ride, affect performance Hey guys tried searching and came up with very little.
My car is a street/strip car, and I was wondering if lowering the car would affect performance at the track. I hear it's much harder to launch the car when lowered.
If anyone can give any insight on this, it would be apreciated. Thanks again
PS.....the springs I was offered by a member were sportlines. I know they drop a lot, and the other issue are my true duals and wether or not I would scrape all over

Lowering reduces bite. Reclaim some of it with LCA
relocation brackets, but the weight transfer will not
be as good (for launch) regardless; you can only fix
the link geometry, not the center of mass relation to
pavement (what you changed).

Jimmy is right. If you want to go to the drag strip forget the sportlines. If u still get them get good shocks to damp the springs. This will hurt ur et more. Drag cars need a drag set up. QA1s work well.

if your into drag racing then lowering isnt your best bet, its not even the best handling mod you can do.
appearance wise, thats another story
