Default Eibach or Stock/4cyl Springs??

Sometime in the spring/summer I'll be throwing in Strange 10 ways all around. While it's apart, what's the best spring option to hold me over until I need coilovers? For launching at the track, what's my best bet? Eibach drag launch, or stock cut rears with fox 4cyl fronts?

the strange 10 ways that i used to have installed on my 94 GT ended up being too large for my drop. i was bottoming out every time there was a significant bump in the road. i replaced them with tokico illuminas and the problem was fixed.

The Eibachs will have a stock ride height. With the 4cyl you get a nice drop.
Both will work well for you at the track.

Are the Eibachs cuttable like stock springs? Do you know of anyone using them?

I doubt that was a uncut Eibach drag launch spring.

If you are going to cut, cut the stockers- they are non-progressive and the spring rate doesnt change. Eibachs are progresive and cutting will affect them, + if you are going to pay for springs, might as well get them the height you want them at already.

Eibach drag launch will def, be a better option i think the stock springs arent that great especially if you cut them
