Are you looking for fronts or rears? I think you will be better off spending money on good shocks instead of springs.

I would use v6 springs up front and stock springs out back, if they give you the ride hieght you want. I feel the springs don't have as much affect on the way a car launches as most might think. Good tunable shocks front and rear will get you further.

The front spring is crucial in how hard or easy the front end rises. You want a spring that will compress alot and store energy to help lift at launch.
