QA1 coilover spring rates

im about to buy the coilovers for the front of my car. its between the 275lb drag springs or the 300lb "nice ride and handling" springs...

the car is going to be a street car, but i want it to launch the best possible. my question is, if i go with the 275lb springs, will it be that bad on the street? how bad will it ride? and will i still be able to throw it into some turn comfortably?

thoughts/opinions? thanks guys

well i just ordered them, and the guy said to go with the 300lb springs, that i wouldnt like the 275's on the street at all. does this sound right?

FWIW, 95 1LE cars came with 360 lbs/in front springs.
(130-180 lbs/in dual rate springs in the rear)
