Front drop springs?

Will these get the full drop with a 4 banger? They might be stiff as hell but pretty good for launches.

Only $30 obo...

Well the front end is lighter so it wont be as low. For $30 its worth a shot though....

They are used and probly broken into... but i dont wanna get something that will do me no good.

For launching you want soft springs, so it can bounce the weight to the back, but probably $30 better spent on something else.

I wanna get some new shocks for my car... maybe adjustables ($30-$40 each) I believe you adjust them with a air valve and an air compressor. I wanna get my whole suspension dialed in. I dont want it set up for dragging, i want a street set-up for ripping around corners and not have as much body roll. During the summer they have a track I can run with tight corners and I wanna just rip around the track like nobody's business

. I bet your BMW would do nice there.

The 5.0 is only about 60 lbs heavier than the 2.3

Only 60lbs?

I thought it was like atleast 100-200 lbs heavier from a bigger motor, rear end, transmission, and the sway bars

Yeah the BMW handled great, but my motor is kinda ****ed right now........

But IRS FTW

remember, in a 5.0. the rearend and swaybars are the same, the AOD doesn't weight that much more anyay. in the GT it ways more because of the rearend and swaybars (they are bigger)

If you want to go around corners, air shocks are not the way to go.
