    would lowering just the front help you get more traction on the launch?
    because i thought about it and i feel like less force would go down on the back wheels with the front lowered and the front would in turn stay down more. anyone think this is a good idea?

    I shelled out the cash about 2 years ago for my Eibach and AGX setup and have not regretted even once. At the track dial them to 4 and some prep with the tire pressures and your golden. And the original ? in theory it works but I am sure there would be consequences somewhere.

    Usually just stock springs in the front, and jack up the rear and attach cables from the chassis to your brackets on the struts so that it is solid and doesn't squat. Either that or use GTO spring blockers, but the cable mod is more serious.

    youre putting too much thought into this padawan. as for lowering the car save up for a new spring+strut combo. as for laying down a nice time i told you what size tire you need now look on tire rack for a summer tire in that size

    so what do you think i should save up for first nick? i was thinkin abou tactually savin for a 3EP trans but u think i should do the suspension next? because my tires still have life on em. if i was gonna get the struts id get KYB AGX's and i would get Eibach springs probably

    stock trans should hold up for a while, as long as you change the fluid etc. my stock rebuild took 2 years of me beating the piss out of it and many many low 13' sec passes. its up to you what you wanna do. daves trans cost me 2500 to give you an idea on what i spent
