Actually I'm not sure they even make them anymore. But I was just curious what you guys thought of them.

If you have the shocks to go with them then the combo is well worth the money. If you talking about just the springs in a factory strut setup like Eibach makes IDK.

I have the Eibach Drag Launch springs in the back, but only because I traded them for my stock 94 coupe springs. Buddy of mine wanted my stockers for his 97 SS convertible, based on a recommendation from Steve Spohn. He used them with QA1 single adjustables (rear only). So his car, with my rear springs went low 8's at close to 170 MPH... 1.2x 60-ft. But my car hasn't been to the track in years, so the Eibachs have had a very limited workout. :(

Based on that, I'd say keep your stock rear springs. Front's are a different story.

Still got a trailer stored in your yard? Load it up and take to the track!

I can drive to E'town - 7 miles. Trailer is stored on a farm in PA. I work a 60-hour week, 11-hours weekdays and 1/2-day Saturday, so my hobby time is non-existent.
