Default Lower Springs VS Drag Springs
My notchback sits way too high in the rear. I want it lower but i have heard lowering springs aren't good for drag applications. Well i dont care about cornering with this car so what should i do?

Put some 4 banger springs in it and you'll get some good weight transfer and lower the car at the same time.

wow... throw some eibach drag springs on it and get these rear control arms, they're called weight jackers, you can raise it 2inches or drop it -1 inch from stock height. i put them on my fox with those drag springs and it felt awesome

Did you run it with them raised or dropped? How'd it hook with those and the drag springs?
