Q1A's and Eibach drag springs...

Has anyone here ever used the eibach drag springs with the Q1A front struts? Does it work well or should I just get a set of Hal's for the front and stock for the rear

In general are the Eibach drags considered to be good?

You need custom spring seats to put the Eibach springs on a QA1/HAL shock. I think BMR or someone sells them, or you can make your own from the stockers:

When I did the install I used the Eibach Pro-Kit with the QA1's and it wasn't a very good setup. I've since gone to the QA1 drag springs in the front and Eibach Drag Launch in the back.

I traded my stock rear springs to a buddy for the rear Eibachs. My stock rear springs have gone 8.60@160mph on a 30th SS convertible. Maybe I should have just kept them.
