Default rear drag springs/shocks on the street?

Anybody running drag springs and/or shocks on the street? This is not for a daily driver, but will see limited freeway running to the strip.

you will be fine for a daily driver. the worst part is when you get rid of your front sway bar.

What about the rear swaybar? My Lakewood LCA's say to run without the rearsway for best launch. Figure it's easy enough to loose the rear at the track though.

I run moroso front and read drag springs and strange adjustable shocks. I found that making left turns to fast can cause the car to fish tail real easy but driving under normal conditions they handle just fine.
