Default Eibach drag launch springs

has anyone had any experience with these springs and do they really improve your 60 ft time as much as they say that they do? also how are they when ridding on the street? and should i go ahead and get some good shocks with them and a camber kit or is all this necessary? i searched but couldn't come up with anything. here is a a link if anyone needs it http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/eibach/drag.jsp. thanks in advance for any help.

i don't believe that they are very good for riding around on the street.

I had a friend who had them on his car with tokico 5ways... they do help, but aren't good for a street car... sits very low and the rear rebound of the springs is very stiff

I've got them on my coupe, and if you want a "for real" drop, this is the way to go...I think it was 3" front and 2 1/2" rear, and I scrape my Mugen lip on every driveway I enter. I do think they help your 60 ft times, because the car doesn't really squat when you slip the clutch now, it just picks up and goes. The only downside I have found is when I try and throw the gas to it in 1st gear it wants to wheel-hop pretty bad, sometimes bad enough to knock it out of gear

stiff rears + soft fronts + Azenis = mucho grippage

Default Re: Eibach drag launch springs (Sprayin')

I have them on my car right now and it rides fine but it didn't lower it as low as sprayin' said 3 in the front and 2.5 in the rear for the eg's its 2 in the front and 1.8 in the rear, I drive with those springs everyday and have had no problem I guess it's up to the driver ! But I am running the skunk coilover in the front cause I need to lift the front everytime I run the slicks.

alright so the consensus says that they help your 60ft but are not that good for everyday driving. i don't really care how low it gets but i would rather not have to buy a camber kit if i dont have to. if there are any other good alternatives besides the eibachs that will help let me know. thanx.
