Your 5.0 Mustang is decked out with the latest and greatest performance additions, able to growl and bark with the best. But how’s its bite? Sure, you’ve got an intake, heads, and cam, but your quarter-mile times only rival the gears-and-pullies crowd. This scenario plays out at the strip every weekend. All funds are spent on performance engine components with nothing left for suspension additions. Instead of making the F-bodies run and hide, they’re laughing all the way to the big end while you’re back at the starting line spinnin’ your wheels. In order to make the competition exit their ride in the staging lane for fear of getting embarrassed, you’ve got to have the proper suspension setup.
Drag races are often won and lost in the first 60 feet, and Eibach’s Drag Launch Kit is designed to effectively lower your Mustang’s 60-foot times through the use of drag springs that allow the front end to rise during a hard launch, thereby transferring weight to the rearend. This action greatly increases traction. An airbag within the right rear spring does its best to ensure flat launches as well.
If we just described your Mustang’s lack of traction habits, you really need to pay attention to these pages. There are several products, showcased in this article, which are designed to get you out of the hole in a much more aggressive manner. These products will turn your ankle biter into an F-body marauder.
