Well... I have the Eibach prokit it lowered me 2" in the front and 1.7" in the rear and I have the kdw2's for tires... What would you suggest I add to hook up better off the line? I average a 2.2 60 ft time, also how much difference do the thermoblock spacers make?

Sways, STB, Mugen cooling mods, Thermoblok spacers. Just to name a few. Definitely get sways first.

Well, sways will help in handling, not drag. I recommend Eibach sways. Thermoblok spacers are only available at Outlaw Engineering.

.... I really don't think they will improve much of anything. They are more/less to make your engine run cooler but doesn't give a significant amount of power. You will notice better gas mileage over your power increase.

pm 'excelerate' i believe he has it listed for 115 shipped. remember its only the rear TL bar. no point to upgrade the front bar on our car. plus the stiffer rear might keep the front down a little more.

To hook up beter I would suggest stiffer struts (Koni or Tokico 5) and an engine torque damper. You have great tires... you just need to transfer power cleanly to them. I noticed a big difference with both of these... without them I had major wheel hop problems.
