Default Coil-overs or spring/shock combo...

I have sitting in my basement a set of DMS springs, revalved Bilsteins from Strano, a BMR adj. panhard, and weld in relocation brackets that I was planning on installing on my car. I live in NJ and the roads are pretty bad (lots of dips, bumps, potholes, and steep driveways) and that setup is going to lower me around 1.3". I'm also going to have my QTP headers installed once they are ready. My car is a daily driver. I've been to the drag strip once but intended on going every Wednesday and Friday I have off this summer. Question is this, would I benefit more from a coil-over kit than the setup I have planned?? By benefit I mean will I scrape and bottom out less due to the total ride height adjustments I can make with the coil-overs and will they be better for the drag strip?? Or will the spring/shock combo be fine as long as I drive more carefully?? Please give me some imput!! All help appreciated.

Joe

I use the G2 coil overs.
Its one of the best mods you can do for a suspension upgrade. Living in seattle has its share of crap roads so adjustability between street and the track is great. ride height and stance is perfect.

This is our C5 corvette package. We use the same shock bodies and hypercoil springs
for our Fbody coil over package.

We report, you decide.
