How do you lower the rear with Hal's

I have Hal's all the way around with drag springs up front. What did you use to lower the rear?

I used the Eibach Pro-Kit springs with my QA1/HAL's, and it was a terrible combination. The back end jerked up and down like a slammed S-10 riding on the axle. I wouldn't recommend that combo.

Fred,

Are you still using the Eibach drags in the rear?

I am considering switching the front drag springs for something else because it bounces too much for me. Do you have that problem with the rear drag springs?

Yes. They raised the rear about 1/2". Rides fine, but then the car isn't street driven much any more, and its not really set up to go around corners.

Why do you want to lower the rear of a drag car?

Well, I actually want an all around performer. I am trying to turn a little more toward an autoX style setup.
