or maybe... the car's so low the tires are all rubbing thus making you drag really badly. Did you reset your ecu after the spring install?
actually... if the springs are a tougher spring, couldn't they reduce body lift less when you accelerate thus making the car "feel slower"

what do you mean 'did you reset your ecu after lowering it' ? you don't need to reset your ECU when you lower your ride...how does that have anything to do w/ the ECU?

either way, I think it's just because the car isn't "lifting up" like it used to before
not as much of this going on..

wouldn't your car kinda be faster if anything? I mean, less squat so you might not get as much wheel hop, thus less wheelspin... better 60's, less weight transfer?
