Default Skunk2 Drag launch coilovers

Has anyone used the Skunk2 Drag launch coilovers? I currently have eibach drag springs and cant use them because I cant get my slicks on. Or is there anyway to raise my suspension with the eibach springs?

thanks

If they have threaded sleeves you can raise and lower them, I run the SK2 drag launch's on the rear of my car they do the job.

As good as any other setup, the best coilovers in the world wont make a difference if you have crappy tires, bad alignment, no corner balancing and/or cant drive etc etc

My friend cut 1.60-1.65 with them all day open diff.......

Well people's 60 ft times are pretty much irrelevant the entire car is what gets you a 60 ft not the coilovers. I've seen people cut 1.6 60 fts with ebay coilovers.

Thanks, she took offence to something she shouldnt of...lol

OP they are just stiff springs on adjustable perches, they all pretty much do the same thing as every other drag launch springs, if your looking for a complete setup the best value seems to be the Blox Coilovers, I seen them for like $650 and they are just copies of the OMNI's from what I hear, I will be giving them a try as well this year.

What shocks are you running now?

The drag launch springs should help you at least a little bit. I've cut 1.70's 60ft on completely stock suspension in my integra with m/t 24.5's. I used to have some neuspeed springs on it but i had to take them off so i could get my slicks on too..lol
