How will lowering my car effect drag racing?

[bsampson]

hey guys i am looking into dropping my car about 1.7 - 2.0 inches using this kit and my teg is my DD but i drag it on the weekends http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/suspension.jsp?&make=Eibach&model=Sport-System+Kit&group=Sport-System+Kit&autoMake=Acura&autoModel=Integra+GS-R&autoYear=2001&autoModClar=&partNum=4.2040.780&perfCode=S
this is a pretty good kit don't ya guys think?
and i was wondering how will lowering my car effect my drag racing performance? both in times and wear and tear?

It makes sense that it would decrease your times slightly because of less squat during launch, and also slightly better aerodynamics...but I could be totally wrong.

it would help tremedously. you won't have as much travel therefore your car wont wanna "bounce" as much off the line. plus with the stiffer suspension setup it would grab better traction. i wouldnt suggest eibach though...

omnipowerusa.com... go to this site for intense drag coilovers..

Well if you are not looking to spend much, I got Tokico Illumina Shocks and Springs for like 450.. lowered it about an 1.5 or maybe a little more

Both Eibach kits are perfect for street use. And I'd probably choose Skunk2 over Omni for drag use..that's what Skunk2 built their name doing..drag racing.

i would definately get coilovers

What does everyone think of this kit for street/competition?

if you have the money you can never go wrong with tein... but as they said above making it stiffer and lower doesnt just help with cornering, when you launch so much pressure goes through the chassis and the stiffer you can get your car the better plus it has better aerodynamics and centre of gravity.

tein flex would be ideal for competition use, i currently have ground control sleeved coilovers and they are amazing. just love them.
