Default eibach drag launch?

Hello everyone i was wondering how the drag launch springs from eibach are on the street?im seriously considering these springs because i could use some...im gonnna go with these 90/10 shocks 50/50 struts and all the other suspension mods(upper and lower control arms,traction bars, subframe connectors, tubular k member, and all new polyurethane bushings for the suspension)...do you guy think this will be okay on the street?i am going to biuld the suspension before modifying the engine... thanks tyler

your plan is very simmilar to mine. except for the 90/10s... i hear there a bad idea on the street. im goin w 70/30s instead... and the same spring kit... not sure how they are... yet, lol... but my thinking is, its not a "street/strip" car, its more of a track car that i DD... make sense? lol.

i just ordered some eibachs and i was looking at the drag launches but was scared away by the page saying not for street use, i went for the same thing just without the airbag, if you are going to do a lot of suspension work i dont think you will have to worry about axle wrap, but i guess what an extra 50 bucks, if you dont like them i think you can just take out the air bag

I have those springs with the 90/10 up front and 50/50 rears, I have no front swaybar and the weld 15X5 rims in front, I drive it on the street every day in the summer, and the ride is better than when I got it.
it had origional springs/shocks so the new parts made it noticeably better.

I like how the front end comes up when I launch.

is it eibach drag springs taht make the car lift in the right rear and tilt to the right front just a tad? Im not sure what it is one my car other than theyre eibach and lowering, but my car has a funny tilt to it. Someone told me that was what the springs for drag do so they can compensate for the engine twisting chasis...

it might be the springs..some are longer or something on the right side so that the car is higher on the right or stiffer to compensate for the twisting like you said...

90/10's with stock springs or 4cyl. and 70/30's with drag springs. just remember there is a such thing as too much lift.
