Will Eibach Sportlines have a dramatic effect when drag racing??

I did a few searches, and found out that the Eibach Sportlines have the best drop for the stance I want. Now, the car has been built for street/strip, but more street than anything else. I want the car to look good when driving down the highway, and the Pro Kit doesn't have enough drop to give it an aggresive stance. I do want to take the car to the track however, and am wondering how those springs will perform? I will be running a 15x10 slick in the rear with a 26 inch tall tire. I hope that I won't have to change the springs every time that I go to the track. Maybe just run an adjustable shock/strut etup? Thanks for any replies to this thread.

It should perform ok, but just swap out the rear springs when you go to the track, should only take you 15 minutes or so with air tools.

rear springs arent hard at all to swap out. Jack it up, tires off, put it on stands and then lower rear down. With sportlines, you should be able to yank them out easily. Once the rear is lowered down, just squeeze the spring together with your hands and pull it out. I got my stock ones out this way, just compress it with your hands and out it goes. Real quick.

my eibachs prokit perform good at the track so far.
