Default Rear Spring Replacement

Tired of the lowering springs. Going with Strange single adjustable and #300 springs on front. What should I put on the rear.

I have the 93-97 v6 springs on my car, it lowered the car 1/2"-3/4" versus the stock z28 springs I had. What are you wanting to achieve by switching springs?
Do you have the heater hose mod and lower springs or stock isolators and lower springs?

Default Which rear springs

I bought some Strange Single adjustable's and some 300# springs for the front from Madman. The car has an old set of lowering springs on it now and awhile back I noticed a dent in the bottom of the car just above the rear chunk. The bottom of the car has been hitting the torque arm bracket during launch. Just wanting to pick the car back up some ... slightly lower than stock. Also hoping to improve my 60 FT. as well. My goal is high 10's N/A. Car is 90% drag & 10
