Default Drag spring launch kit

Does anyone have info on a 1979-2004 Mustang Drag Launch Kit Spring by Eibach. I seen this kit on ebay for a buy it now price of $179.99. All other drag launch kits I have seen is about $250+. I'm sure the best way would be to scale the front end to be a little more tuned in on the spring rate that is needed. Anybody use this kit before?

I run Eibach drag springs in the rear and so far I like them. But I have 4 cyl springs in front.

I've heard of everyone using the 4cyl springs in front. I'm curious what the rate is on them. I just installed strange 10 way shocks on rear today. I have adjustable upper control arms and lower control arms with adjustable cup along with torque box plates. I guess I will wait to install them when I get the springs I want. Then going to put strange 10 ways in front too. I hoping all of this will cut down on my 60ft times.

Well I messed up a little when I bought my tires for my 15x5 and 15x8 draglites. I got them used with tires on them and just replaced the used tires with the same size. I put 255/60 r15's in the rear and 205/70 r15's in the front which turns out to be 5.65" sidewall height. I'm thinking that I'm going to have issues with new drag springs since there is practically no room. The rear rubs when the suspension travels hard, but after replacing the rear shocks I found they are trash.

My right rear rubs when I make a left turn. Time for a big hammer. And I have all new suspension parts but I run 275/60/15's on rear

Well that makes me feel better. My sidewall height is 6.02 inches tall with a width of 10.03inches and yours is 6.49 inches tall with 10.82inches wide(tread surface). I shouldn't have have any problems after my suspension upgrade.My exhaust dumps after the muffler so there is no pipes in the way. What size is your front wheel?
