Drag Spring question

laztug · March 24th, 2009, 01:29 AM

what up people i was wondering..........Do you have any idea if drag springs will lower the front/ Rear of my car? I have a 1993 GT I would like to drop about two inches up front and keep the rear as is.

Eibach 9310.140 - Eibach Drag-Launch Springs

Ford Racing M-3000-D - Ford Racing Drag Race Suspension Kit - JEGS

Or should i just get the fronts?

Moroso 47220 - Moroso Trick Front Springs

LMK what you think

**This is my daily. I am not worried about ride quality its rare that i go over 90

i have front runners and 15x10s out back, i have lakewood lift bars comp engin. 50/50 rear shocks, stock front shocks stock springs all around.

front drag springs are a little taller than stock for the "preload" effect but are softer than stock so they will lower your car but not by 2 inches.

Awesome! An inch lower would be good too

Thanks for the responce keep em coming i wanna know what you all think

drag springs usually sit a little higher in the front end

How big of a difference do springs even make? Any alternatives then spending 800 bucks on a setup?

Removing spring material will increase the spring rate, giving it the oppisite effect he is looking for.

quite a few actually, it's just what i was about to say as well

ryans88gt · March 24th, 2009, 03:17 PM

So... keep the stock springs in back.

Drag springs are not a help there.

I agree, my 91 with the eiback drag launch kit and lakewoods sat about half an inch higher then before

laztug · March 24th, 2009, 05:35 PM

Well I went out today looking for some springs. I found some new 4cl springs for 80 bucks *pair*

Should I get some Struts while i am down there? Are 90/10 struts a good idea for the street, should i go with 70/30s? Or will the stockers get the job done?

Thanks again
