Question on DRAG spring and shocks?
so i was thinking on getting drag springs and shocks but i don't really like the way it rides all sloppy has anybody just ever bought lowering spring like from eibach prokit and put drag shocks in the rear? i mean i would thing it would handle better then a full drag kit but the handle decent enough and the street?

helps keep both of the rear tires planted on the ground. when the car launches the torque of the motor wants to rotate the body to the left compressing the right rear spring and taking weight off the left rear tire. the bag pushed bag against that force to keep the rear tires planted

I have run Moroso trick springs on all my street cars without ever having a ounce of bad handling. I will agree with Matt, if you can afford a good adjustable coil over you will never look back.

i run coilovers in the front with a lakewood 90/10 and no front sway bar, and eibach drag launch springs with lakewood 50/50's in the back and the stock rear sway bar. and honestly, my car handles and feels great. granted its not gonna take a corner at a super high rate of speed, but i never did that before anyways. just gotta get the right combo on the coil over spring to make it comfortable on the street. i am running a 225lb 14" QA1 spring up front and have no complaints. my car also puts down consistant 1.5 60' times at the track.
