running a drag suspension on the street>?

how many of you guys run a heavy duty drag suspension on the street?

how hard do you guys find the car to drive everywhere in it?

I'm thinking about setting the car up for drag only, but I don't know how well(or bad) it will handle on the street or freeway.

I don't know if I'd call mine a heavy duty drag suspension but I have every suspension part replaced on my car for the purpose of drag racing. My suspension consists of tubular chromoly K-memer and A-arms, solid motor mounts, Hal 12 way adjustables on all 4 corners, Hal front springs stock rears, spohn adjustable spherical rod end LCA's, Spohn LCA relocation brackets, Spohn spherical rod end panhard rod, Spohn Solid front mount TA, and a Wolfe Drag antiroll. I also have a 9" rear with a full spool, manual steering rack, 3.5" front welds and 15x10 rears with E.T. streets, and manual brakes. My car feels like a stocker to me as long as the shocks are at 8 in the front and 6 in the back.The only difference is pushing a little harder on the brakes, a little more effort steering, and the lack of a tight turning radius due to the spool (doesn't like to make U-turns easily). The suspension is a little noisy (TA and Wolfe bar) but completely barable and the bumps are a little more pronounced but that's it. However, what is tolerable to me could annoy the hell out of someone else.
