I have 4 cyl springs in the rear and it sits at stock height. I noticed on hard launches that the rear squats more

That's good for weight transfer... I have not taken my pony to the track since I put them on.

I have a set of drag strings for the front. I know that the 4 cyl springs are not strong enough to support your V8 so I would not recomend them. If you do put them on, it will "lower" your front.

If you pulled your sway bars out, it will help your 60' times but your handling will be crap. I recomend that you only take them off when you are at the track. Get rid of your rear all together.

I suggest getting BBK lower controll arms with adjustiable uppers. I am running them now and I like the way they help grip.
