Default Fox lowering spring help (who has H&Rs?)

ok so i have eibach blue springs. im assuming they are the drag launch cuz of the color. i dont really go to the track all that often and want something different. these springs ride like crap and give my car a reverse rake.. the front wheel gap is larger than the rear.

i want the ride to be smoother and have the wheel gap be the same. but still want the lowered look.

im running a 25.7" tire all around 245/45/17 in front and 275/40/17 in the rear

what are you guys running for springs and do you like them or not?

any input and pix would be great. thanx

here is mine

I have the same Drag Springs. My car sits about level with them, maybe slightly higher in the front. I might try coil-overs next

im not necessarily looking to drop it a lot. id like to keep a similar height to what i have now. just with the front more level with the rear or a little lower than the rear. also, i want a better ride quality. the ones i have now are kinda harsh..

I agree with skar. 4 banger springs will definitely even it out. I never changed them when I did my swap and I love the way the car sits. Or you could go to a coil over setup.

If you haven't noticed, alot of foxes tend to be slightly lower in the rear . C springs ride pretty good I think.

many people with the eibach drags have simply cut a coil and had great luck with them

I find it hard to believe that your car rides like crap because of those springs... they are a softer rate than the lowering springs
