Eibach Drag Launch springs?

How well do these improve your launch?
Do they change cornering at all?
What about ride hieght?
Are they good quality?
Do you need to do an alignment or any other mods?

If you have the drag springs front and rear with drag shocks front and rear, the launch is changed dramatically. You can basically compare the feel to having blown out struts, and shot springs. The car will handle like a lumber truck, and is actually only suggested for track use. There are a lot of people that run drag springs and struts on the streets, but they are the ones that you see with ever widening wheel well gaps every time they touch the throttle. They are designed for optimum weight transfer with no consideration to street use. If you want a car that will handle well, and still pull 1.60 60's, get a set of sportlines with a quality adjustable strut and shock, then make your adjustments per driving conditions. It is pretty amazing the level of adjustment a set of koni's or comparable struts has. All it takes is a twist of the adjuster, and you go from firm to soft. The only problem is that your springs are not adjustable, and because of this you make the compramise.
