www.teamzmotorsports.net makes dedicated fox-body stock location rear drag springs. Might be worth a try, I have one of their anti-roll bars, have not tried it yet. I have used the air bag...it is OK, at best. the TeamZ anti-roll could be bolted into the frame, you would still have to weld the brackets to the rear housing, I think that will fly in NHRA.

That bar would probably work great but there was alot of welding involved and that might be illegal. The air bag at 15lbs makes the right side of the car sit much higher than the left side at a standstill. Is this normal on these cars? Is that adding preload also? I guess scales would really help..

Right side higher? Now you look like a stocker! Yep, that's preload.

If I get the Team Z bolt in anti roll bar should I take the airbag out?

The Air bag or anti roll bar will help, what RPM are you leaving at?, Try leaving higher.
That little motor makes no torque, so you need to twist the rubber band more, how much air in slicks

Yes. The adjustment will now come from the preload you put into the ARB. The bag is now useless.

Try doing a little research into what was/is available as far as spring rates. If you can find a heavier rate with the same height, put it in the right rear with the air bag.
