DSE Springs at the Drag Strip?

[nickb]

Anyone have any experience with the 2" drop springs from DSE on the drag strip? What tire have you fit with these springs? Any times?

I bought a set of these off someone who was gonna use them but then went another route. I have bought eibachs in the past which were supposed to lower the car an inch but did nothing in the front and lowered th back an inch. I guess because my stock springs were wooped. So I am assuming this would do the drop I want but would like to know what tire size and times anyone running these is getting.

Thanks

Scot W would be the best person to answer this question but he's at Richards rebuilding his engine right now. You may have to wait a few days for the answer.

Nick,

I have these on my car and they operate just like any other spring.... On the tire question I can't tell you exactly because I only run street tires all the time but my tires sizes are as follows if that will help..

Front: 255/35-18
Rear: 285/40-18

You need to see if someone will loan you a different set of tires to try and see what happens Scott.

I wonder if a 275/50/15 MT would fit?

 

[nickb]

Well it looks like I'll be the one letting people know if this works or not. If I can fit a MT 275/50/15 ( 26" tall x 11.5" wide) under the car this should look nice. If not I will have a new set of DSE springs in the for sale section. Should work though.

my car is down almost that far in the back, I'm tucking a 275/60 15 so you can do it man.

I've got the DSE shocks and springs on my car and run Nitto 555R drag radials in 275/50/15, they clear no problem. The 275/60 is probably really tight, mine are close but don't hit anywhere.
