would they be to stiff or would i be fine? do they really improve your 60ft times and launch? THANKS

 

if you have a good chiropractor (sp?)

id suggest not running them. my car isnt a good example cause its ultralight but when i drive my car on the street its harsh. u hit a small bump and the whole rearend just jolts.

 

i had them, it was tolerable

 

Are we talking bout the skunk2 kit? What are the spring rates on em?

I installed 750lb springs on my car and it was rough but tolerable until over 80mph and above 100mph slight bumps got a little scary.

I have heard that with that high a spring rate the rear wheels have a good chance of losing contact with the road if you hit a large bump. I would say you can run them on the street, depending what the roads are like, and how you drive. Just get ready for a potentialy rough, and anoying ride, and if the roads suck, and you have no control over your right foot when on public streets then maybe you should reconsider.

If you are willing to sacifice your ride. I had the NEUSPEED DRAG LAUNCH. It worked but i did get back aches after long rides. Personal experenice it works.

 

if u live in a major city, dont.

 

thanks guys i live in the desert LOL. do the kits come with 4 springs or just the back?

 

i got the street/strip kit which came with 6 springs. the drag kit only comes with 4 springs.

 

I'd suggest to do as I did .. get a good set of coilovers with adjustable preload and just compress ( preload) the rear springs when you go to the track.

I have JIC FLTA-2 and they do a great job.

 

i didn't mind, but then again, i never drove it for too long at a time.

 

ive had then on for about 2 years. never bothered me. first week was hard, then you forget you have them.

100mph bumps will scare ya.

 

You get used to them in my daily driver. My 1st gen CRX is about 1800lbs with me in it and only 700 or so is on the back axle. I run 750 Ground control coilovers in the back. It sort of depends on how heavy your car is also.

 

bad idea, i tried it out for a week........

 

yeah i want to get the skunk2 kit, how low of a drop will it give with the street/strip kit? can i choose the springs that i want for the rear as in LBS?

 

Yeah it's not that bad... I got a friend with a Neon with some Eiback drag spring on it... it's just a little stiff.. but like they said tolerable.. Later Mike
