street/strip springs and shocks?

I think i will more than likely get the Eibach drag launch kit. As for springs, i'm on a tight budget. Anyone make a cheap 90/10? I only saw shocks for camaro's and firebirds up to '92. I can't spend high dollars for koni or the qa1's. I'd love a set, but i'm PO as hell right now. Does lakewood or Competition engineering make a set. I want the front of my car to raise up high, it just looks so damn cool

I do not know from experience but this is what I am going with:

For the rear:

Used V6 Springs= $20
Competition Engineering Shocks=$76
BMR LCA's=$102
BMR Relocating Brackets=$60

=$258



For the front it is a different story. From what I here you can use KYB Adjustables up front and they run around $170 for the pair. But I did hear you might as well run your stocks up front as some folks feel there is no difference.
I myself will save up the money to but the QA1's up front. They are expensive but from what I hear are well worth it. And maybe a Moroso Trick spring or a QA1 Spring.

I have a pair of front Eibach Drag Launch Springs I looking to sell. I only have the fronts. The rears are on my race car. I bought the complete set used, but only used the rears. I went with the QA1 shocks and springs for the front. I'll let them go for $50.00 plus shipping.

Do the drag launch springs lower the car any? Are they worth the $?

Thunder Racing sells the QA1 front springs for $53.99 each. If you are gonna use your stock shocks, you either have to modify the lower spring seats or buy the modified ones from Thunder. I think the modified seats are $55.00 pair with a $45.00 core charge.
