hah, i was very close to buying the eibach drag kit... but at the last min. changed my mind, im in the process of buying my set up right now

4banger fronts
strange 10 ways
new stockers in the back
3 way adj. in the back
granatelli adj. lower control arms

way im gonna have it is have the assend a little higher then the front... but w. this combo u can easily set the whole car down an inch, seeing that the 4bangers set the front down about that much, and the lca's have that much adjustment.

and thats my plan for my street/(mostly) strip car.
