ok i'm looking to buy a set of springs. i'd like it to lower the car about an inch maybe a touch more. but as for which ones i'd be the happiest with i dont know. i wanted some opinions. i will get relocation brackets after i do the lowering. i dont really see the drag strip that much with this car. but i would like something that would be fairly noticable driving around town. the car has 16" chrome 5 spokes on it right now i only use the 17's in summer since they have the autox tires from nitto and drs out back. i was thinking about the drag launch kit since it would be nice to have a better launch on the street. but i was also thinking it would be very nice to have it handle significantly better than it does now. i'm really torn on this whole thing. i dont know anybody with experience with any of these kits or springs. so i need some opinions here. dont just say oh i have this i love them, tell me why you love them, or if you hate something tell me why also. right now i'm just really as to what i should do.

 

I've had the Pro-Kits and am currently using the Drag-Launch springs. I loved how the car looked with the Pro-Kits but the ride was definitely harsher than stock. Any of those speed bumps that you are almost clearing now, you will scrape on. But like I said, you can't beat the look IMO. With the Drag-Launch springs and some new, cheap Monroe struts and shocks the car rides better than stock. I don't hardly feel any bumps now. Handling? I don't know. About the only time I'm really on it is in a strait line and some of what I consider moderate cornering so I'm not the best person to ask. With a 24mm rear bar and polyurethane bushings it seems to handle atleast as good as stock. Lowering? I don't believe it has lowered my car any over stock, in fact it looks higher (maybe only a quater of an inch or so) than stock. More room in the back for bigger tires in the future as far as I'm concerned.
