Default Steeda Timing Adjuster

2000 GT

Has anyone used Steedas ultra light weight Drag Springs? Do they make the car tilt up or is it pretty straight. (Don't wanna have to cut the front if I don't need too.) Also, is removing the spring absorber a good thing? What does it do?

Sorry about the Thread Title, it's supposed to be Steeda ultra light Drag Springs and shock absorbers.

There was just an entire thread on drag springs, look there for answers....

And the spring isolators are there to prevent noise, I left mine in in the back and took them off in the front.

About a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch maybe.

I would say less than that, more like 1/4" to 3/8" as they aren't that thick compressed height. this is assuming you are talking about the spring isolators and not the shock absorbers which must remain in place.
I used the Eibach drag springs front and rear on mine and they didn't change the stance of the car sitting still, they do allow the front to come up quicker and the rear to compress easier for better weight transfer at the launch though by using different spring rates and stiffness versus the stock springs.
