solid motor/trans mounts....traction bars....CA bushings (dont recomend this, but it works in the short term)...torque dampener....some new rubber!

the solid mounts and new rubber are your best bet

well it all depends on how hardcore you really want to go. solid motor mounts are pretty extreme.

You can try air bags in the back to limit weight transfer.also some people have used limit straps to limit front suspension travel.

Could we use like a spring rubber or something for the rears. Or maybe a link to bags for the rear.

drag bags, tranny mounts, and a drag radial at 18 psi does the trick

I found this on another forum

"I bought a package of 4 Coil Spring Stabilizers at Autozone, part number 81492, made by Suspension Solutions. They provide 2.5 inches of separation between coils."

You just jack up the car and insert the spring rubbers and it keeps them from compressing.

those are crap. Just get drag bags. 80 bucks and you just put air in them just like you were putting air in your tires.

Well if it weren't for NASCAR I probably wouldn't think about it, but it's just a rubber spacer that goes in between the springs and when the springs get let down off jack they wedge the space and keep the spring from compressing more.

Pretty simple, same as drag bags.

they are made by airlift,
and they are ******* awesome, rear is stiff as a board when they are pumped to 25psi.
and when your done, just let the air out, and your ride is 100% stock.

Has anyone found a set of drag bags that work with eibach sportlines yet? I tried the ones linked in this thread over the summer and they are way too big for the eibach springs.
