Default Thinking about switching out the rear springs

I'm currently running the FRPP C springs on all 4 corners, and they're pretty stiff. I was contemplating switching out therear's for a set of the Moroso Trick Rear Springs (drag springs). I'm not sure how well those C springs in the rearwill do when I'm launchingon the street or strip withdrag radialsand the rest of my suspension. What do you guys think? Keep the C springs in the rear and hope for the best? Or pitch out 95 bucks for the Moroso's. If I switch I'll be leaving the C springs in the front. This car is mainly drag raced and never taken on a road course or anything. Also, do you guysthink that these springs will be lower, higher, or the same compared to the C's?

Here's alink to the Moroso's

Yeah, I wasn't sure if they would look goofy or anything. I'm going to give em a try before I go switching them out.The C's shouldn't be too bad, but I'm not sure how stiff they're going to be.

You want stiff rear springs for racing...that is why people put air bags in the back.
