need "working" suspension??

Here's the situation, I have all stock suspension right now but need something for the best of both worlds (street/strip). I have a set of mt ET street radials 275/60/15 that are getting cut ta **** from bottoming out in daily driving! (dips in road, etc) I can't even drive with a passenger its so bad. So far I've added some stiffer cargo springs but little improvement. Are there some adjustables out there that I can stiffen up in the rear for daily driving and able to soften up at the track and have good energy transfer??? Would they bring the car up a bit in the back so I'm not cutting the tire so easily? Any recommendation on some reputable brands would be awesome . Looking for fronts and backs set up.

i used a pipe and used the tire for leverage and rounded the lip up into the fender. I think i have more of a sagging issue. Can someone rate gas adjusts or adjustable air shocks. Will they bring the *** end up even 1/2 inch?
