.... trippin

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?

Might feel slower because it doesn't squat so much when you nail it. I noticed that when I lowered mine. Headers will fix that though.

sarcasm buddy...

either way, I think it's just because the car isn't "lifting up" like it used to before

Less squat, less feeling of being pushed back when accelerating.

Other then that its all in your head. Your car definitely isn't in anyway slower due to the springs.

aftermarket springs are heavier so yeah it'll slow you down. about 1 sec off the quarter mile.

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?

Did you drop it so low that it is dragging on the ground? That would slow you up.!
