if your going to get drag racing springs, why not get drag shocks/struts? Some lakewood 90/10s or 70/30s if its ur DD would do better at the track I would think.

I have tokico d-specs and eiabach pro-kit or whatever they call it their lowering springs, I love them... that's just my $.02 though, the d-specs are fully adjustable therefore you can adjust for a better launch or whatever type of racing you want to do at the time, if you really plan on doing a lot of draging though you might want to look into some control arms and what not

I bet that setup is pretty nice. I just think that a dedicated drag shock would do better than an adjustable. I dont know really how much adjustability there actually is in the d specs so I cant give a hard number on that.
