Drag Launch Springs
I was wondering if anyone has the drag launch kit and how well it performs. I would also like to know what it does to the ride hieght and how it efects the cars handling in general.

I have them on the rear, didn't do the fronts yet. I also have 50/50 shocks in the rear. It will really whip around on you if you try to take a turn from a dead stop, just have to be careful then that. Otherwise it's a pretty stock feel
235/60-15's all around on 15x8 wheels. didn't make the car sit up too much more, and the change was from well worn z28 springs
you can go through the rest of the pics here for more angles

ok so they dont handle any worse than the stock ones do then. I have been debating on which route to go with my suspension and since I take my car to the track once or twice a month just to play around I was thinking about these springs but I didnt want to loose thenice handling of the GTA.

i think once the fronts are in I'll notice more a difference. Good luck finding them, they were discontinued by Eibach a while ago now. I'm building the car to do more strip then street. the rear springs are 2 complete different spring rates, the front are the same rates. Also it comes with the airbag for the right rear. If it's your main street car or just a cruiser I would just keep the stock springs.

Ive seen them for sale in a couple places onlinebut I dont think Im gonna get them now, Im opting for a set of stock replacements and shocks to see if it helps me out. Just in case anyone is interested heres some still available http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=6&pcid=91
