Default junkyard suspension

whats the cheapest rear springs i can run that perform well at the track. i don't have money to blow on any more suspension, i found some 4cyl springs for the front for 30 bucks now i just want something for the back. also how will these springs affect my height? hopefully its either stock or lowered haha.

Stick with the stock springs and add air bags; about $70 from Summit or Jegs. My old car would pull consistant 1.50 range 60 ft. times with stock springs, control arms and 26x10 slicks.
