Default Eibach Drag-Launch Springs

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...64421_-1_11177


Anyone use this kit? Would it work with stock shocks or QA1's in the front?
Also wondering if it adjusts ride hight at all, I checked out there web site but it wasnt very specific on it.

Looks from the length of the springs in that pic that the car should be around a similar ride height as stock. Should work with any factory sized shock available. If you want to lower it you can always adjust the front QA1s if thats what your going with.

Here is a pic of my car with the Eibach drag launch kit.



and here is one with the same kit but with a stock 10 bolt and 26 inch tire.



The shocks are KYB AGXs though.

You should also consider V6 springs. they provide greater weight transfer due to the spring rate (V6 camaros are lighter). There are several single digit cars on V6 springs. I'm not sure on how the V6 springs affect ride height, they will drop less than 1" if much at all.

I would recommend using your stock V-8 springs I have seen people use the drag springs I don't see it being worth the time and effort to change.

Well My car has that problem where the rear right side sits lower then the rear left so I need to change the springs anyways, also I'm getting a set of QA1'a for the front and instead of just ordering a set of front springs for those I was thinking use the QA1's up front and use the Drag Launch kin for front and rear springs. As for ride height I want the front down about an inch ahich I know the QA1's will do that, but I need my rear to stay stock height due to the fact I have dumps on my car and there low enough as is.,

Stock springs over Eibachs... LOL. Guess that says something. I mean, I ran a 1.768 60' on stock springs and BMR LCAs... hard to complain about that on a drag radial tire.

Of course, I would like to drop that time some this season. So what's the best route towards improving my 60'?

I started with a set of LCA lowering brackets from BMR... QA1s are a bit rich for my blood right now as I just bought headers & y-pipe, and an Innovate wideband. Maybe next month I'll look at QA1s.

Where's the best place to buy them from?

Yeah my 60' was 1.68 on a 3500 stall and stock suspension except boxed LCA's, now on my new 4500 stall upgraded Torque arm better LCA's and skinnies up front I'm hoping for 1.4-1.5 with upgraded shocks and springs and a lil dieting on the front end. Sound realistic?

No way...I have seen bolt on cars pull low 11 second times with outragous 60' times like that, just depends on the suspension setup and weight of the car, personally my car wont be much over 3K lbs this season
