Default Rear drag springs

I just ordered my (almost) complete suspension. I am having difficulty determining which rear spring I should go with for street/strip setup. Most driving will be around town on the weekends or at night. Car is not a daily driver. It will however see a lot of strip time. Some people say stay with the stock rear springs and some say go with stock V6 springs. I have not been able to find a set of rear aftermarket drag springs to replace the stock rear springs. Can somebody point me in the right direction.

Stay with the stock springs and save the money for other suspension stuff like anti-sway bar or sumthin else.

Like said just stick with the stock rear springs. Maybe cut a coil or so out if you want the lower the right height.

Anyone else? I already ordered a rear drag bar, k member, a arms, torque arm & relacation bracket, lower control arms and relocation brackets, panhard bar, QA1's, front springs. I just need to know what I should do about the rear springs.

Most people stick with a stock spring and do a adjustable shock but you could also do a coilover setup in the rear if you wanted ton go that way.

i run a hotchkis spring in the rear with a strange DA. strange coilovers in the front. rides better than stock i think and still hooks hard as a ****. i called a few of our sponsors and they all said that a lowering spring in the rear wont hurt 60' times as long as the suspension is setup correctly. just my .02
