What springs to get?

Hey all.. Trying to decide what would be the best rear springs to put on my car. Here's what my suspension consist's of so far...

Global West Trac-link torque arm
Global West lca's w/ spherical bushings
Global West panhard rod with spherical bushings
HAL 12 way shocks w/ HAL front springs...

I would like something to launch hard at the track because the motor is going to be churning around 600-700 hp na, with an occasional 200 shot of spray on top of that. Something that sets slightly lower than stock would be a plus since I'd like to lower the car a little...

Let me know what you all think...

Thanks
Chuck

The best combination that I have found is to run a spring from an early model six cylinder car on the drivers side and a spring from an early model eight cylinder car on the passenger side with an air bag inside. You will probably only have to cut the six cylinder spring, depending on how tall your slicks are. I would suggest about 5-6 clicks (from zero) on the rear shocks.
