Drag springs always sit like that. Thats why I would never run em, they look retarded & worse than stock....

Pull them, get some 87-93 4 cyl springs and enjoy the 1" drop and decent performance at the strip

don't springs usually "settle" and eventually lower a bit?

Exactly. And that airbag? Ya, it would go in a stock spring no problem.
Drive the car around a bit. They WILL settle.

Too late you already cut???? Damn drag launches are gonna sit high but once you drive it an feel the weight transfer its all worth it!! But they will settle down some for sure.

on a drag spring you dont wanna cut more than 1 coil otherwise youre not gonna get what the spring is intended to do

+1 most drag coils, no matter what brand tell you never to cut more the 1 coil...i run the moroso drag spring in the back. no air bag and my car sits fine(meaning stock). not the best pic but hey.

btw jon thanks for the input but i just want my car to sit real low like top of the tire low that just looks so sick...my car sits just like yours does in this pick and im not 110% about launch performance...i want the low look too...and i really dont think they will settle 3 inches!

What do you expect when you buy a "Drag Launch Kit". LOL. They are cut to fit. I usually take out 1-1.5 coils.

if i may ask, why did you buy "drag springs" if you don't care about launches and are more concerned about ride height? seems to me you shoulda just gone with a lowering spring like Eibach uses.

and not to mention the ride will suck if u cut too many coils. if its a street car, just get some lowering springs cuz lowering is what it seems your primary goal is
