adjustable coil overs help with ride height? also what lb springs in rear for drag?

Since I've installed the 9" rear end and did weight reduction in the ole LT1 camaro it now just rides too high. So if I get some QA1 adjustable coil overs I can lower the height of the car correct? Also I am going to first get the coil overs in the rear of the car first since it is extremely high in the back, what lb springs should I get for basically all drag racing, very little street?

Yes, coil overs will solve your ride height issue. Spohn is where I bought mine from, they, and everyone else has told me 150# rear springs for drag application.

The quickest 4th Gen I ever had anything to do with (1.30 60-ft, low 8's at over 165 MPH) ran its best with my stock 94 Formula rear springs in it, and QA1 rear shocks. Car was a 97 SS convertible, but weight had been significantly reduced (3,500# with driver), so it was no heavier than a stock"ish" coupe.
