If you more interested in drag strip than track work then std springs will be better, softer and more squat equals better traction

well, providing, cause of stupid cossie suspension geometry, it dont squat so low it makes too much negative camber, fooking up the grip...

but at std height it shouldnt do

Cheers for all the advice fellas
Appart from of course the Batman pimp daddy Stretch
I have some coilovers coming (Billys) but unless they put a bend in the track at the pod i doubt they will be getting fitted
