Lowered or stock height

I have a ws6 that I bought as a roller and it came with BMR lowering springs. I'm building the car for street use and lots of track use. The pros of a lowered car is that it looks great. The cons are, I have ZERO clearance for my over the axle true duals, and the other is that if I want to run a 28" tire I need to roll my fenders. Are lowering springs any good for the track?

Drag racing i'd say no because you wouldnt have as great of weight transfer with the stiffer spring rate. Coils or drag springs would probably be better.

Most of the customers we deal with work with a ride height lower than the factory and many of them are cutting 1.2X-1.3X 60ft times with some even better. It really comes down to the setup and combination of parts.
