I just got this car couple weeks ago and Ive got to do something about these lowering springs someone put on. Im scraping everything and I cant get a jack under it unless I drive over a hole. Its irritating as hell.
This car will be a weekend bruiser/drag car. Hopefully high 10 sec. car.
What springs should I get since Im going to replace them anyway? Should I just get stock replacements or would leaving it lowered be best (I hope not)?
Thanks, heres a pic -

get coilovers in front, if its full weight get a 325# spring. I'm running bmr's in the rear, it's low but not prohibitively low.

Im going to be taking alot of weight out of it and running Weld Prostars.
Where can I buy this stuff?
Any more suggestions?

i would go with a front coilover so you have front ride height adjustment and shock adjustment. I run QA1 R series fronts. I also have rear BMR 1.25" lowering springs. they are for sale for $100. PM me if you want em. they make the car sit a bit lower but dont kill your 60ft like a 2" drop eibach kit does.

I would like to get back to a stock ride height or close to it.

If you want a cheap alternative you can keep your stock springs up front, purchase yourself a pair of 98-02 v6 Camaro springs and get yourself a set of 82-92 F-Body shocks from summit......thats if you want to keep it cheap.....if you have money to burn get yourself some coil overs....

Well I dont have a whole lot of money to burn.
So your saying stock springs up front, and 98-02 V6 in the rear?
Other than ride adjustment, how much better are the coilovers than a stock spring?
