Eibach Drag Launch springs

they sell them at Jegs. they say that they are for the 93-97 lt1 f-bodies. will they work on 3rdgens? i know that they back springs are probably very similar, but what about the fronts?

PN# 9306-140 Drag launch kit for 3rd Gens. If you would have checked the Eibach site it is listed under applications.

could always do moroso trick springs in the front, and stock v6 springs in the back if you want a cheaper alternative

Another vote for Moroso trick front springs. Use these along with a set of Lakewood struts. To further compliment this combo, you should consider losing the front sway bar also. As long as your car is a not a Z28, Trans Am, or has a performance (cornering) suspension package, I wouldn't worry about changing anything in the rear.

I'm gonna pipe in here too to keep an eye on what's out there.
Installed the lakewood 50/50 shocks out back, trick springs and lakewood 90/10 struts up front today. Once I got the spring coils cut to the length I need (initally the front wheel well was 32" off the ground Took out a coil and a half to get'r whereI wanted it, but want the rear lowered to for that stance.

Could remove the rear air bags and heat springs I got, but would prefer a regular "trick" or drag racing spring.

Front end pops up and stays up now instead of the bobbin for apples with the old well worn out struts. Pulls front end off the ground on the street like nothing now Just hope the 60's will start to be more consistent so I dont have to buy the anti-roll bar.
