Default Shocks, Springs... take time off in 1/4 mile

Hello.
Ok
I am thinking about going with...
like H&R Drag launch springs
Lakewood 50/50 rear drag shocks
Lakewood 90/10 front drag struts

How much time will this take off my car (most of you know my mods and times etc..)
will it kill its driveability on the street?
If I can gain a NICE amount off 60' and of course overall ET... I would do it.
anyone have this setup on here?
or know anything about it with our cars?

Thanks!

So, are you pretty much giving up for a daily driver?

Is your car an auto or stick? Is the 13.6 your best time?

If it was me, I'd ditch the street wheels and get some light 15x4's and 15x8's to use at the track.

If you have a built rear, use some et streets. Those wide dr's are probably hurting you since you are NA.

Get the track wheels, make some passes and see what you get. Then take it to the next level with the mods you mentioned.

JMO.

^My car is auto.
Im going to install a 3k stall converter once its finished being built.
b/c right now im limited to launching at 1,500 rpms.
and yeah im running 13.5's right now.

^Yeah I know with some Draglites in the back 15x8 and a 15x3.5 in the front or even 15x4 or 5... would help me out for sure- with some DRs on them of course. b/c I would be hooking up the same, biut have less weight etc.

but yeah see I dont want to run a 15x4 in the front for daily driving etc.
and i like the look of hte monster 315/35/ deep dish in the back for daily driving and i just drive it to the track.

my rear is stock, stock axles etc
and I think my rear should be fine even with my converter... stock rear end should be good for me an my auto.

I think I will do that,
Im going to get some Weld Drag Lites and just keep them in the garage and throw them on when I go to the track.

Good idea.
