hmm, i figured that. someone did tell me once that the rear will be slightly higher then the front, and it's almost stock ride height in the front?? Is this true, does anyone with the kit care to comment?? I really don't want to lift my car anymore then it is, and i don't want the rear to be jacked higher then the front either.........

There are some pics of my cousins car with the drag launch and mine with the prokit side by side. They aren't really that good for a comparison nor is there a good side on shot of his, but thats all i got.

actually here are a couple more better ones i forgot about.

drew1 and drew2 are his car.

It does sit a lil higher in the back but not with that much rake. Mind you his gastank was empty at that point. I think it looks like a 4x4 either way compared to my car. I'd personally never get them, but if your an all out bracket racer (he's not) i can understand. I originally thought the drag launches were just the rear springs, but i looked em up online quick and they show front springs too in the pics.

I have the Eibach Drag Launch springs in the back, and they raised the body about 1/2". I have the HAL drag springs in the front, but the HAL shocks allow it to be set for stock height. With street tires on it, there is way too much gap in the rear:

ZR1 street wheels

But with 28" slicks, it looks fairly aggressive and has an interesting rake:

Mine raised the front more than the rear. But it more than makes up for it at the track when everyone tells you how nice your car looks going down the track.

I just got the front suspension put back together and I don,t have it on the ground yet but I know the car is going to sit higher in the front. I am hoping it will settle a little cause I put all new parts in there including poly bushings.
Hard to find anyone with info on this cause EVERYONE lowers their cars.
