Mike thanks for the input.. I guess my next question would be a little deeper than a product review/recommendation..

What is the general idea behind a "better" rear spring than another? Up front having the extra stored energy makes sense for weight transfer, but in the rear in a drag application where we aren't turning corners, what is the idea behind changing a rear spring? Stiffer to help drive the rear tire down as the weight transfers? Is there a point where it's too stiff and pogos the car off the ground? Does softer than stock actually accomplish this better, as long as it doesn't bottom anything out as it collapses?
Suspension is my least educated subject when it comes to cars, so if someone would like to elaborate on some basics that would be much appreciated.
