Default Dilema..

Here is my dilema.. I have DMS lowering springs on my Koni SA 4x4's.

Car sits PERFECT in my eyes.. About 1.4-1.5 inch drop. Love it to DEATH.

Well I cant get my car to launch without scraping EVERYTHING on 1 and 2 gears.

It scrapes soo hard that my ABS INOP came on and wont shut off now

I am hoping it was just a shock to the system and it will shut off eventually.

Anyways.. I have the KONI's set at 5 I believe.

Would I benefit in swapping to Eibach lower springs? Or is this just a problem with being lowered in general.

I know you will scrape on a bump. Yes I understand this. But on the launch? I mean.. I just SIMPLY CAN NOT LAUNCH THE CAR LIKE THIS AT ALL.

Any suggestions?

I am keeping this car lowered even if it means my entire undercariage being destroyed. It just looks too nice not to.

I seen people lowered at the track and not grind as bad. Is it really because of DMS springs?
