Eibach drag-launch springs

hey guys i am wondering why nobody uses the drag launch springs from eibach? they say they reduce your et's by 2-4 tenths and u can still drive it on the street. do these srpings lower your car any? thanks

your guess is as good as mine man, I've posted 2 or 3 times trying to find out anything about them but have had no luck....I may get them eventually, or I may opt for a full air bag suspension

The kit will not lower your car. My car has the kit on it and is stock motor, 12 inch 2400 converter, 3.73 gears and 245 Nittos and has cut a 1.84 60 Ft time with no wheel spin. The springs for street driving O.K. your car will roll some more in the turns and lift the front a lot more on the gas and thats all good for a street strip car.
