Street/Strip springs, V6 or Eibach Drag Launch?

Anyone have an opinion on the best street/strips springs? I'm looking at V6 springs or Eibach Drag Launch's. Should I look at any others? If V6, should I get new or used springs? Should all 4 springs be replaced? Or just the front or the back? What shocks do you recommend with the springs you like?

Someone has to at least know if the front, rear, or all springs should be changed.

That's part of my question though. Not that doing just the rears or something would be "half-***", but is it better to have the stiffer front springs like the IROC's up front and softer V6 in the back?

i would think that you would want stiffer in back and sofer in front because of the weight transfer to the back, if they are softer then they might just asorb it all but if they are harder they just slam the power to the ground and your gone... i think :lala:

I wouldn't worry about the rear springs, Look at the thirdgen line of cars, all of them are exactly the same (or atleast within a few pounds of each other) from the rear of the door back, I am assuming that GM used the same spings in every thirdgen. All of the weight changes in these cars were in the engine bay. A 82 4 cyl car is alot lighter then a 92 SS 350 with air car. In my opinion just change the fronts. I can't help about the Eibachs though, I run 4cyl springs in my bird.

I know alot of the 4rthgen guys run V6 rear springs. Hopefully someone that knows what they are talking about will respond. I've been curious about this for a while.
