i heard from some guy that if u lower ur car u will not have as good of a launch as to if it wernt lowered, is this true? thx for the help

 

Well, lowering springs are generally much stiffer than stock.
So yes, it will effect your launch because the weight won't transfer to the rear wheels as well

 

is there difference very noticible? or is only a slight difference?

 

I found that I get better launches beacuse my car is lowered.I have eibach shocks, lowering springs, upper/lower control arms,sways bars. I think it helps to get better launches.

 

think about it. You want the rear of your car to be *somewhat* "bouncy." That way when you launch your car "sits down" and hauls.

 

My car is lowered and I get great launches as long as the tires are heated properly. On my stock tires and the mods you see below I got a 2.088 on my 60'. Not the greatest compared to rear work and drag radials but its a hell of a time for a lowered car on stock tires.

 

when are you getting dr's jd?

 

Well I just bought Joes 4.10s so if I have serious problems with traction then im gonna have to invest. A buddy of mine that has 4.10's says they are good on street tires but I never drove it.

 

They make lowering springs designed for good launches. I have the eibach drag launch kit. The car is alittle lower and launche great. Of course the 90/10 shocks in the front help that out also

 

Drag springs are not used with the intent to lower the car. They lower the car 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch without the isolators but it isnt enough to really notice. I was looking at a guys car that had them while my exhaust was being installed. I just assume get the upper and lower control arms and drag radials and still keep the lowering springs for good looks.
