Just use the stock ones... or none to get a slightly lower drop since the C-springs aren't going to drop the car much.

No reason to buy new ones, IMO.

I would say that isnt needed unless you go with a 2 inch drop but if you do it will prolly rub on the metal of your strut tower, creating a squeal.

If I were you I would pm amnick about the gauge holder he should know.....

Yes I'm saying that you wont need them, and that a squel could come but Im pretty sure it wont happen, that's if you have like 3-4 persons on the back and you hit a bump hard....

I took out the top isolators on my front springs and I'm not having any noises.

The FRPP springs don't lower much but the improved spring rate and slight drop work very nicely together.

I'm still waiting for them to settle all the way. I put them in 2 days ago.

No to make you regret or anything but when i got the ford racing C springs. i was anything but happy.
I'm talking about a drop i didnt even notice
cornering was damn near the same and launching wasnt a noticable difference at all

now my eibach drag launch springs...HUGE difference in 60s and stance
although its more jacked in the rear


best way to go eibach sportlines or pro kit

Depends what your goal is, IMO.

If the main goal is lowering the car, then ProKit isn't bad... but it doesn't notably increase the spring rate for better handling.

The C-springs/Mach/Bullitt springs are the opposite. Increased spring rate for better handling, but not much drop, if any.

Of course, there are other considerations and plenty of other spring options as well, so it really just depends what your goal is.

well i didnt buy them. i had all these crazy plans to do stuff this summer cuz i got 900 bucks. I was gonna get the springs and gears but i decided to wait till next summer or spring cuz winter is coming soon here for me and i start tech school for automechanics this fall. This way i will have access to a hoist and be able to do the upgrades with free labor lol. so chris im looking to build a street strip drag car so are the eibach drag springs pretty good ones?
