Question Ill effects of lowering on 60 times, Front Vs Back

I have the eibach sportline springs on my car with stock shocks . and the best 60 i could pull was 1.84 on ET streets ...

i know that lowering in the back hurts weight transfer big time, so im thinking about running stock springs in the back (maybe cut them half an inch) with my sportlines up front

would having lower springs in the front hurt weight transfer as much as having lower springs in the back !?

This is going to be my setup for next year i think
the eibachs up front with QA1 shocks
stock springs in the back maybe with stocks or QA1s if i could afford them
airbag under the right rear spring
24mm rear sway bar and no front bar
LCA relocation brackets

basically i want a compromise between 60' times / road handeling and not making my car look like a 4X4

you guys think i can cut 1.6 ~ 1.5 60's with that setup ?


ps. another Q: what does an airbag exactly do ?? would it hurt my street / road handeling if i run it on the street ? (i like to corner hard, very hard)

I think its the opposite, lowering in the front kills weight transfer, and lowering in the back helps so the car squats quicker.
