Are drag springs worth the extra 60 bucks or are the 4 cyldinder springs good enough??

You really just need front 4 cylinder springs. You don't want to put 4 cylinder springs in the rear they make the car to soft. I had drag springs on my 86 and they made driving on the street a little hard. The car had a ton of body roll. My 87 has 4 cyl springs up front and handles like a truck but a lot better then my 86.

I'd never put 4 cyl springs in a car i drove on the street.

Why?

Because under hard cornering and braking they are not made to hold the weight of the larger engine, from what I've heard on here they are sloppy on anything except straight line acceleration, just not what i'd want in a street car.
