Question Am I correct?? Street/Strip

My car is a daily driver/only car. ('99 Z28) I get to the 1/4 mile track sometimes as much as 3-4 times a month. I have to drive my car everyday so I can only compromise so much.

From searching it seems that I should keep my stock height (lowering hurts weight transfer). I should keep the sway bars stock. I'm going to add SFC, Sphon T/A, (have LCA's) and new panhard rod.

Now QA1's rear shocks should do well for the street/strip. Can I use the front strut/shocks witha stock spring?

Also will a STB affect anything?

Are there any lowering springs that would lower it a little (3/4"-1") but not affect the launch much?

STB wont help or hurt you in the 1/4, it will help in the twistys.
I have the Eibach pro kit on my car, and it hasent affected the launch any. I still cut 1.69-1.70 60'. I had to add some LCA relocation brackets to stop wheelhop.
