Who likes drag launch springs?
I was wondering how the Eibach springs work and how drivable the car is after installation? I have drag radials, lcs, torque arm, and more than enough power to spin my tires. Are these suggested?

I was looking at these in Summit today, too. I'll add a question: What shocks would you guys recommend to use with these springs?

I have just ordered mine. My suspension currently consists of:
Random Tech Torque Arm (pinion -4 degrees)
Poly trans mount, TA mount
Edelbrock lca
hotchkis panhard rod
STOCK ws6 springs
air bags in springs
lakewood 70/30 drag struts
lakewood 50/50 drag shocks
SFC
removed front sway bar
The car currently has a best 60' time of 1.63 on slicks.
I am switching to the Drag Springs to see if there is a difference. I won't be able to let you know untli next season.
Any thoughts on these springs?

I've asked this question several times at several different boards and noone seems to have them. I just want to see if they're good for the street, and if the spring rates are lower than stock. I need stiffer springs because sometimes I hit the wheelwell woth the 4th gen rear.
