Hey guys I'm new on here. Been doing a lot of reading in this section. Anyways my car sits on eibach prokits with bilstein shocks and I want more of a drag set up. I just ordered some CE rear shocks that should be here friday. I was wondering if I should swap the front shocks and all 4 springs. Ive been thinking about the eibach pro launch springs but I don't like how high the rear sits. What do you guys recommend for street/strip set up? I am also tired of scraping everyone because of the ride height. Also my car has everything else already (lca's/torque arm/phb/stb/sway bars/subframe connectors) I just need a solid spring/shock combo. Thanks.

A set of QA1 or Strange coil overs up front will do ya just fine. Depending on how much $ you wanna spend will determine if you get SA or DA's. Either one will benefit you over stock or lowering springs on the track.

Cool. Just got my CE shocks today. Gonna go put them in right now on the 50/50 setting and see how it rides.

Been riding on the new shocks for a couple weeks now. I really like them. Took a trip to Sacramento the same day I put them in and the car rode smooth on the freeway for being drag race use shocks only. A little bouncy but they absorb shock better than the blown bilsteins i had. They feel good driving around on the street too. I can't afford the front coils right now so I'm going to test out the Qa1 sa front shocks with their 325lb springs. Gonna get some stock rear springs too.

you wanna trade stock springs for your eibach prokit and some cash?
