Default ? about springs??

I have Eibach pro kit springs on my car now with spacers to bring it close to stock ride height. The Eibach springs are a progressive rate spring, my question is what would be better for my 60' the Eibach springs or the stockers?

I cant seem to get my 60' down no mater what I do. I have all the main bolt ons TA, LCA's, sub frame connectors along with 275/60/15 M/T DR's.

Here is my best pass from this weekend and I cant seem to get a better 60'.

60' - 1.521
1/8th - 6.800 @ 105.76

Most of my 60' were in the high 1.5's.

Alot of guys have good luck with the stock springs. If you want to drop it down you can take out the upper spring isolator. Do you have control arm relocation brackets on the car? Even on a non lowered car they make a huge difference.

I have a set of the Bolton's but I just put a 12-bolt in the car and they wont work but I am in the process of getting some weldon's. I also wanted to know if there was a good spring for drag racing that I could run with the stock front shocks untill I can afford new shocks.
