Default suspension

i was thinking about getting the ford racing drag suspension but a friend of mine told me i should get coil overs. my cars going to be a DD but i dont really care about going around corners fast. i guess my question is how will the drag suspension handle going around corners driving normal. i want the best suspension for the drag but still beable to drive around town.

I have the eibach drag launch kit, but havent installed it yet.
it will help with the weight transfer to the rear wheels.

personally you dont need drag springs and they use a staggerd spring rate. stock v8 springs are all you need. if you really wanted to you could use bullit/mach1 springs in the rear and just trim 1/2 coil off them to sit at stock height.
