PRO KIT VS. SPORTLINE (drag) So i'm deciding whether to buy the eibach pro kit or sportline springs. Now I know the sportlines can ride a bit ruff but I plan to do shocks this summer so hopefully it'll even that out and I absolutly love how they make the car sit. Now my question is would there be a considerable difference in launching for drag racing. The car is mainly only used for street racing and going in a straightline so the cornering isnt a huge concern I just wanna know if there would be any advantages to running one over the other for drag racing. Thanks

i dont think i would recommend either kits from eibach for drag racing. personally i would go with afco or qa1 coilovers either single or double adjustable and thn get a comptible drag race spring. spohn the sponsor on here has a front and rear coilover kit. you can adjust a bunch of things and ride height is one of them.

I'm not a drag racer but if you lower the car, you angle the control arms down from the axle to the chassis and also won't be able to transfer weight. Sounds like you would considerably hurt your 60 times.
If you just drag casually for fun and not chasing any times, then you can obviously use any spring shock combination or focus on tuning the suspension for daily driveability or handling etc

My car dropped 60ft times and was much better all around when I put the Hypercoils on 4 years ago with stock shocks. I can only imagine how much better it would have been on QA1's or Konis!! I would recommend Stranos, Vogtlands, or LG Motorsports. http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog...oducts_id=1448
