Default Getting new springs

I am having new springs installed in 2 weeks. I ordered the H&R Drag Springs from AM.com.

I will take before/after pictures for the masses.

Does anyone have these springs? How are they?

H&R Drag Springs? Do you mean Race springs? If you do, those are as far from drag race springs as you can get. They are very stiff, and pretty low. They are more road-race type springs, and frankly I think often a little too stiff for most in that case too.

For some reason I had "drag" in my head.

I'd recommend you don't do them.. I mean I sell them too, but they are pretty brutal and you need a lot of shock to control them. There are many way better street oriented choices.
