I lowered my car 1.3" (seems lower) using Eibach's kit. I purchased the 15x7" S/S rallies for the front and 15x10" 5.5BS rims for the rear and will be using 325/50R15 DR's by BFG this time around. The rims will be here friday or monday so pics of rims with new tires won't be until next week.:(
Heres a pic of the car lowered before and after(note: these are months appart but same size rear tires just different brand 295/65's).

Looks good.
I lowered my car 1.3" (seems lower) using Eibach's kit. What's in the kit? Just springs?

Its just the spring kit with fronts and rears.
Bad part about this is,I hurt my 1/4 mile performance.....I might want to switch back already cause nothings working as of today when launching. It seems too nose heavy or too low for the front end to shoot up when launching...:confused:

Per drag racing I have been told that you want the front end as low as possible. What you might be fighting is if the new front springs you put in dont contain alot of stored energy this would create the front end not wanting to rise easily.

I used the same springs and thought I got alot more than 1.3" myself. I fact I have to go out of my way to avoid any speed bumps so headers don't scrape and am going back to stock springs for rear because my custom SS gas tank and full size spare make the rear droop slightly.

Brian,I thought that too. These Eibachs are pretty tight and stiff,they don't help during launchin at all. They make it hard for the front end to come up anymore. Maybe I should just cut my old Moroso front trick springs:confused:

As far as I know the Eibachs are not good for drag racing, they are a handling spring.
