Springs and shocks for hooking on the street
 
I was thinking of getting some Eibach Drag Launch springs and some shocks to go with them. What shocks would be a good match for these? I don't want 90/10's or anything, but I do want good traction while being safe on the street. I was looking at the adjustable Koni's, but they are like $500 for a set of 4. I was also looking at KYB GR2's, but are these good for drag racing or a handling type shock? What should I get with the Drag Launch springs?

Do you have LCA lowering brackets?

You might find that you need a whole lot less of that $$$$$ romantic sounding "racing" stuff if you take care of the factory's geometry malfunction first.

Yes, I have a full Spohn setup (adjustable poly/spherical combo LCA's, relocation brackets, adjustable panhard bar, subframe connectors, and a Jegster TQ arm). My battery is in the rear well towards the passenger side and I can still spin the BFG drag radials at will off the line. I need some better weight transfer.

From what ive heard the draglaunch springs are no good on the street. Im gonna go with the prokit prolly in a few months. They wont lower your ride much and i think will over alot better handling and help keep those rear tires planted. But KYB shocks and struts are pretty good ive heard.
