if you just got those springs and some shocks, then you are missing some important parts.

X2..Those are coil over springs. They are way to short to be used alone.

You're not missing anything. The set-up on my brothers drag car is, Tokico blues, skunk2 drag launch springs, and ground conrtol sleeves. Thats all you need. Then adjust your height with the sleeve. He used to drop the car to the ground, then raise it back up at the track. but finally got sick of that and just left it kinda up.

That is with 16's

The Spring rates on those are quite high, meaning yes, they will be super stiff, and thus making a more bouncy ride.

You can get adjustable struts that can help be super stiff race day, but be more forgiving on the daily commute.

They rides really really well. suprisingly. It isn't bouncey. It's WAY better than any ebay or other cheap lowering springs.

? ? spring rate and numbers ? ?
