Default Best springs for the track

I know there are really only the Eibach Drag springs which are meant for dragging. The only problem with them is that they actually raise the rear end over stock, which isnt good.

I have sportlines right now and need a more traction oriented spring. I want something with a little lower stance than stock, say 1" drop. What are the best spring that can help to transfer weight the best, and what would be a good shock combo.

Ill also have relocation brackets installed once new springs are in.

If I remember right, BMR springs are a "progressive" rate spring, which helps in weight transfer...also lowers the car about 1"..."Progressive" springs are the way to go though..

That's just begging for a debate about whether a shock can be set up to properly dampen a spring as it gets stiffer and stiffer.

Consider a Grond Control or Global West setup where you can easily swap in any spring rate you want and adjust the height to fit your need.

Here's my Ground Control Coil Over with a Koni DA and 550# Eibach Spring:
