Default Rear ride height and 60' times

I have a 1" drop with Eibach/Slp springs and I heard that lowering the car kills traction quite a bit. By going to stock springs do you think it will increase traction substantially? I hook farily well now, but this just came to my attention about the rear ride height. So will it be worth the swap? Thanks.

lowered cars hook fine. the springs will hurt some weight distribution but if you have the right tire and lca relocation brakets you will be just fine. my car is way low and pulls 1.5s 60' times.

Yeah, a set of LCA relocators will fix you right up. My car is lowered about an inch or a little better. It pulled 1.6s on Nitto DRs and easy mid 1.5s on ETs.

Ok, I have relocation brackets and I pull 1.62s but what I'm asking is if their is room for improvement by adding stock rear springs? Will this help me or hurt me since I have relocation brackets? Thanks.

So what are the best rear springs for drag racing? With or without relocation brackets? Thanks.
