I can get a pair of drag springs for the front only. Should I just get all four, or just use the stock springs in the rear?

 

Stock in the back will be fine. You may want to trim a small amount from them to level the car out.

 

I should have posted what I have so far.

I've got LCAs and adjustable shocks installed, just waiting to install the adjustable struts. As my car sits, the rear looks lower by about an inch or two, so judging from your post, the drag springs in the front would simply level things out? I don't know what brand the springs are, I just know they aren't Eibachs but some other brand I haven't heard of.

 

I am running the roush racing rear drag springs and have been happy so far. They are lower than the stock rears, and they seem to weight transfer better.

 

What do you have on the front?

 

If I remember correctly he has 4cyl fox body front springs in the front. I had a similar discussion with him and code about this a while back. I ended up buying 2 4cyl fox front springs for my front and 2 5.0 rear springs for my rear. Haven't put them in yet but that was the plan for a good/cheap drag setup at least spring-wise. I think I'm going to go a different direction with my car though so if you want them I'd sell em to ya..

 

I just don't understand how you can properly weight transfer with stiff rear springs. Aren't they suppose to squash under load and that allows to lift the front up for the weight transfer? I don't see lowerings springs being able to squash enough or much at all, matbe the stock ones, but then they are kinda high unless you cut off a coil or two. Just a thought

 

well yeah that's the idea.. that's why stock springs are better than lowering springs for the strip. because the 5.0 springs came out of a lighter car I assume that's why they work even better than our sn195 stock rears for drag racing. code told me I'd be fine sticking with the stock springs if I wanted to do that too
