need spring help, car is almoston the ground

I have a 91 formula with a 406 motor. I used the PA-Racing tubular a-arm and the Eibach Drag Springs. I have 16x8 Centerline rims with 245/50R16 Nittos up front. I also have the Lakewood Drag Struts.

Problem is that the front end is on the ground. It must be lowered 2-3". This is a large problem because I have Hooker Super Comps and the y-pipe is a little over an inch from the ground.

How can I raise the front of my car? Do the PA-Racing a-arms lower the car? Do the springs lower the car? Will stock ws6 springs raise the car?

Please help. I am having problems driving over anything thicker than a quarter!

how the heck you get those eibach front drag springs in? those things are huge, i gave up after a while and threw in my front pro-kit set. much smaller and didnt even have to use my spring compressor i rented.

the stock springs were like 2 1/2 coils smaller than the drag kit, but maybe they do sag alot more than the stock ones.

i would of figured if i got those springs in maybe the front would raise up alittle..


this may sound stupid but, did u put the rear drag springs on the front.

my drag springs were blue in color, maybe for some reason you might have gotten the sport lines from eibach, they lower the car roughly 2 inches.

sorry if i cant help any more i am just going buy what i have been through so far.

They are definately the front ones. LOL

They were a real pain to get in. I basically used a spring compressor and a large pry bar and a few foul words and a prayer. Not easy to get in at all.

Perhaps the a-arms are what is doing it? Does anyone have the PA-racing a-arms? Or should I say does anyone want a set?
