Eibach Drag launch springs

has anyone used these? my main concern is the ride height i have the stock suspension with monroe shocks and 28 tall mickeys, my passenger side is hitting bad and some times my driver side. so im redoing my springs all around and there aren't many stock height springs around but the eibach dosent say they lower the car? i just want to know if anyone has them and what they can tell me about them. my car was better with the stock shocks, i know i have a bad spring, my front sits fine and level but my passenger side has about 1-2 fingers gap between the tire and quarter, and the driver side has a good horizontal fist clearance. if anyone has any tricks or anything liek that to help let me know, i was thinking about quarter panel work.

I have the Eibach Drag Launch springs. In the back they raised the car up around 1/4 - 1/2". No problem at all with 28.1" M/T ET Drags. Don't know about the fronts.... I have height adjustable QA1's and just put the front end at the height I wanted.

With street tires the ride is fine. Shocks are QA1 adjustables, but I leave the rears in the 5 or 6 (mid) position on the street and for the track.

Funny thing is, the only reason I have the Drag Launch springs is because a buddy of mine with a 30th SS convertible wanted to go back to (almost) stock springs to improve his launch. As a result, I have his Eibachs, and my stock Formula springs have run low 8's in the mid 160MPH range, with a 1.30-sec 60-ft..... but just not on my car.
