Rear Drag Springs???

Which rear drag springs do I need? Going to install my MWC FAB 9 in the coming weeks, so want to go ahead and change out the springs now and the shocks later. I'll be putting Strange Drag Shocks up front with 275lb springs also. I have the stock WS6 rear springs now. Just wandering what to do with the rear springs and shocks. Thanks in advance guys.

Most of the racers I see at the track still have stock rear springs, some remove the rubber isolator to lower it some, but that's about it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking also. Just wanting to see if anybody else had something different to add.

I found the Eibach Pros with HAL adj shocks worked well (consistent 1.4x 60' times). I'm now running the BMRs + HALs because they are 1/2 taller (EPP sells them) for more clearance (12" tires).
