Drag launch springs

Does anybody use them for daily driving. If so, how does the car handle.

With skinnies, loose front shocks, no sway bar, no bumper supports, lets just say I won't be taking any off ramps at more than the posted speed limit...

Yeah, with your setup I wouldn't etheir.
If you use no skinnies just regular tires and the sway bar, what's it like.

I use them with KYB adjustables up front and regular size wheels. Still have the sway bar on (for right now). Ride is pretty normal. Corning is descent with the adjustables set in the middle. I drove the car for a year and a half as a daily driver with no problems.

Great that's the answer I was looking for. Did the springs really help lift the fornt end up at all?

I was really suprised with how well the did handle I even have the front sway bar removed I do have new sturts and shocks take off slp's.. you caint push the car real hard but you can still drive at a medium to fast pace out back roads.. I dont have the air bag either.. I have videos in the sig if you want to see the front end lift its on street tires but you get the idea also never hooked up ....the track pass is on stock suspension no new times with springs yet but I do like them.. caint wait to put my slicks on and stall it up and let it rip..

Yeah, there is some front lift on launch. Probably more with the sway bar off. (I'll find out soon )
