Theres more to getting a car to hook than springs!!!
Tires, Shocks, weight, gearing..ect.
I would look into geting some shocks, depending on what your goals are or if you like to drive the car plays a big factor in what you may want to choose.
Iv got Strange Rear Single Adj. Shocks and factory springs. Some say you need doubles to keep the 6 speed from unloading hte tires after they plant but unless your going to make 10,000 passes a year, I didnt see that I needed them. But with the Factory Springs, Take the isolator out and it drops the car about 1/2in maybe 3/4s. I havent had it to the track as Im still waiting for more parts to show up..but I do like to drive the car and it will be driven.
With a 6 speed(if your wanting good times) Look into geting a set of 15in wheels for the track and running a Bias Ply Tire. After a few times down the track with 2.0 60fts..youll change your mind on running Drag Radials and youll get a real tire..
I wouldnt suggest cutting the factory spring, it changes the rate, witch sometimes can be for the better but Im not a suspension expert.
Iv seen some good 60fts cut with the BMR springs and they still ride very nicely. I would around and see what everyone runs and likes..

Here's my combo
Front shocks: QA1 12ways (set at 2)
Front springs: 300lb (if close to stock weight)
Rear: Sphon Rear Coil Over kit (comes w/ QA1 12 ways & your choice of spring)
(shocks set at 8). The Sphon kit requires some welding but enables you to set the rear ride height wherever the hell you want
Tires: MT 295/45 (if running 17's)
My car runs 11.0/teens and dead hooks on the street w/ above combo. Some ppl
may consider overkill but if you're gonna do it right, do it right the first time!
