Default those with skunk2 drag spring

sorry if im in the wrong place...my question is...

is the skunk2 rear drag springs full length springs like stock? or are they lowering springs? i know they are stiffer....and these will be in my daily driver....just wondering if the rear end will be all the way up in the air.

also, any opinions to using these daily?

I called skunk when i got mine and they said they were closer to 1000lb springs then 900, and its a shorter spring designed to use with their coilover setup. Its a little rough of a ride, but if your hardcore your gonna love it.

The 3rd number on the skunk2 spring designates its springrate. The drag launch springs are 18k.

Is it really necessary to revalve the shocks with the stiffer springs?

I'm just planning to use the drag springs when I go to the track.

18,000 or 18 Kilo? neither makes any sense to me.

Anyway, here is an easy way to tell what springs you have. If youre like me and you have a pile of them and youre not sure what is what. :D
