Talk to Sam Strano about his springs.

I (and most everyone who has them) love my strano springs! Their higher rate allows lowered ride height w/out the horrible ride of most lowering springs. The ride is firm, but IMHO less harsh than even stock springs. It rides like a sports car should. It is very contolled under braking (significantly less brake dive) and corners confidently. Also during acclereation there is less squat/nose up bobbing-it just moves forward!

As you may have guessed I'm more of a road racer than a drag racer, but I think there are a few guys running these (w konis) and cutting respectable 60' times.

Stranosprings w/koni SA shocks. I have the 4/3 setup (4th gen fronts and 3rd gen rears) and I love the ride. The 4th gen shocks are adjustable on the car and the 3rd gen shocks have to be taken off the car to adjust. But i dont mind it at all, so its up to you.
