Pics of drag launch springs on LT1

Yes. The back is up about 1/2" over stock with the Eibach DL springs. The front is pretty close to stock, since the QA1/HAL shocks are height adjustable. The gap in the back is way too big in my opinion, but it works well with slicks.

Rear wheel gap not at noticable with 28" slicks....

When I was driving the car on the street - its been a track only car for at least the past year - the rear suspension was the HAL/QA1 shocks, Eibach DL's, and airbags in both rear springs. But I kept the airbags at 5psi on both sides for street use. I didn't feel the DL's were any different than stock.
When the car was strictly street driven, not used for the track much at all, I ran the Eibach Pro-Kit springs, and they were terrible with the HAL/QA1's. The back end had a "choppy" ride, like a slammed S10 pickup. Tighten the shocks up and the "chop" got worse, loosen the shocks so the "chop" would go away, and the back end was too loose. Hated the car when it was lowered.
But the DL's ride/handle pretty much the same as stock, at least with the airbags.
