i have the FRPP B springs. they are pleanty stiff and lower the car a good amount. im happy with them. i had N/A 2 inch lowering springs and at the 1/8 mile my tires where up in smoke though second gear. i though the B springs would help but the did not. they handle really good ( i have sub. conn. upper and lowers and tower brace) im really happy with the springs but its the tires that need to be wider. 255 aint doin it anymore. i prolly have 260 to the wheels and im just as fast as a stock 5.0 because of lack of traction!!

I have the eibach drag launch kit and it is ok on the street, the air bag helps out alot at the track too.
I like them and on a 275-0-15 mt drag radial I cut a 1.59 60 ft.

I had moroso drag launch springs on my 86. It launched awesome at the track but the 2 different spring rates in the rear made driving on the street a little hard. The car liked to fish tail when turning even at slow speeds.
