Lowering Springs and Drag Racing Purposes

[JonnyG2132]

Hi all,
I have SLP lowering springs on my car. Last year I changed out the rear springs and put the stock springs back in, so now I have lowering springs in the front and stock springs in the back. I figured that this would help with weight transfer allowing it to squat hard. I thought the more squat the more pressure on the rear tires, which would result in better grip. Reading around it appears that this may not be a good idea and may be slowing me down out of the hole. What are you opinions on this? Should I put the rear lowering springs back in? Again, this is question is only for drag racing purposes, and not cornering.

Thank you
Jon

I would go for the stiffer rear springs to control the squat. It is best for the tire to absorb the energy and help it hook.

Def something to consider then..

If you cut a stock front spring to lower the car over a lowering spring it will have better lift in the front at the track but will have a lower spring rate which will bottom out easier driving around.

Ya, I will prob just stick with the front lowering spring. But thanks for that info.
