If you're changing your springs for a street strip setup, I'd recommend these springs:

Either of the springs you mentioned would work, but not as well as the springs I linked above. They are the best street-strip setup you can use, without going the full race route.

No problem. There are many different ways to go on the springs, but that is the simplest, most effective choice. We also have a pretty nice adjustable height spring kit which is GREAT for adjustability, but it requires some minor welding so it's not used as commonly as the spring kit I linked above.
