so is the only differance the amount of a drop these springs give you? wasnt sure if there was a performance differance or not. which would be better for drag racing ?

Neither. In general, a lowered car is going to be more difficult to hook up on the track.

lowering your car will give you a lower your center of gravity, and increase handling.

If you want a car that handles well on the street, but you still plan on drag racing it, go for the Pro Kit, not the Sportlines.

is there any differance between their profit and drag launch springs? id like to have a killer street car for launching off the street lites and stuff but this is also a street car so that means its gota do turns and stuff lol. to many diff routes to take when doing suspension mods on a thirdgen.

Yes, the Pro Kit springs are designed for handling performance, and the drag launch springs are designed for maximum weight transfer to the rear when launching.

If your car will be a daily driver, or will at least be your 'nice weather' car, I would stick with the Pro Kit springs, and then possibly upgrade the shocks. I have the Pro Kit on my car and I'm using Bilstein HD front struts, and Bilstein race rate rear shocks. Can't tell you how they work, because I haven't run the car yet, but I've heard this combo works well for street/strip cars that aren't making insane power levels.

The Eibach Drag Launch springs are pretty much ONLY for drag racing. I have them in the back, and they actually raised the back of the car about 1/2"
