eibach drag springs CUT EM? - 5/16/2008 8:56:06 AM    TTGreenSN95 Posts: 629 Joined: 3/25/2007 Status: offline   I just bought eibach drag springs going to install them this weekend. 1994 GT  everything still on the motor ac smog pump so its riding stock heavy. Question should I cut them first I want it about an inch lower than stock it looked like a 4x4 before I put the steeda lowered springs on I dont want the 4x4 look but not quite as low as the steeda springs anyone have a pick of a sn95 with drag springs in the front uncut is it going to be high as hell in the front if I dont cut a coil or 2 off? I know these things are a mofo to get in so I dont want to have to do it twice. any and all input apprecated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _____________________________ Post #: 1

I think your going to get mixed answers on this....cuz depends on the car you start with...like my 93 coupe sits higher than my 87...I dont know if its the mileage on the car or the weight or? So if I put the drag launches it the the 93 it may lower it a hair...but if I the drag launches in the 87 it would lift the car....since you have an SN95 I would just put them car is heavier and may sit a lower....but I dont think its going to lower car over stock.....see if somebody is running them on a SN95 ask them....thanks _____________________________ 93 White Notch all Orig. 87 White Notch all Orig. 92 Black Notch Project AFR 165''s, FTI cam, Vortech T- trim, Holley systemax (fox lake ported) under knife. 92 White Hatch DD GT40 crate....slow (in reply to five0fm) Post #: 6

Whne you cut them you can screw up the ride with alot of them. _____________________________ http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll27/justlm69/Project%20Resto%2083/ (in reply to TTGreenSN95) Post #: 8
