you can still fit a good size DR under there with out raising it back up. get a set of 15" wheels and do a 26" tire thats all you are really gunna want a 28 will slow you down

If you are looking for pretty much a drag car, go for the drag springs that have the bag in the passenger rear corner. I know BBK has a set. I don't know if anyone else has. I believe they still have a drop to them from stock but I don't think it is as much as what you have already. And like Hack said, go with a smaller wheel and put some DR's on them. No reason to put a set on those 17's. It would be cheaper too.

I planned on getting 15" weld rims for a set of 275/50R15s, but I really wanted to jack the back up to get some proper geometry back for my LCAs, lowerd like it is will sacrifice some traction even with the control arms on there. I'm looking to be cutting 1.7-1.8 60 foot times.

Get some adjustable LCA's if your that worried about the geometry of the rear end. Get the right strut/shock combo and you will be just fine.

I guess it'll be okay, I'll try it with the set up now and if the numbers aren't what I'm looking for then I'lltry tinkering with it to see if I can get better 60's.
