My car has Qa1 8 way adjustables with eibach drag launch springs up front. In the rear, it has 6 way koni adjustable shocks with eibach lowering springs. I really like the stance and height of the car but think there is more to gain on the launch with a new set of drag springs. I don't want the car to have the rear end jacked up in the rear. Any ideas what I can use to get better wieght distribution and still keep the stance? The car has a 28" tall tire and the fenders are already rolled. Thanks.

Have you tried using the factory rear springs with the "Hose Mod" ?
It's good for 1/2" to 3/4" rear lowering.
That'll cost next to nothing if you still have the springs! :yes:

I've never heard of it. I know I can get take offs pretty cheap. Let me know what needs to be done. Thanks.

Go to your local autoparts store, and buy 3ft. of 5/8" I.D. oil/fuel line hose.
Then, pull out the rear springs and the rubber upper spring seats; you will not be reusing the upper spring seats.
They'll be replaced by the Hose.
Now, slide the hose over the first full top coil of the rear spring. Finally cut the hose around 1/2" past the end of the coil spring. Re-install, and repeat on the other side with the remaining hose. :yes:
