Default springs and drag racing

I'm purchasing a 12bolt, ET Streets, etc for the upcoming Drag season. However, I hate the way my car sits. I have to lower it. I really want the G2 springs, which are linear in the rear, and progressive up front. Would I be crazy to spend all of this money to not break ****, but then put on these springs? Will these really hurt my launch, even if I run LCA relocation brackets? I think this has been asked before, so sorry if this is repetitive. Thanks alot.

No your not crazy! <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0"> I have a 12 bolt, Et Drags, 4.10 gears and I chose to lower the car with Eibach's Prokit. I have to leave pretty high so it won't bog off the line, and I don't have relocation brackets either. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

i was thinking the same thing about the LG Springs i also thought of doing LG springs in the front and V6 springs in the rear and taking a coil off of them, i'll keep the front sway bar off and put 50/50 shocks on the back. has any one ever tried this set up or something similar?
