They have a better rate that will allow for better weight transfer but also give a nice stance.
Damn I didn't know sport lines suck for drag.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

They don't suck. lol. They may not be the perfect ideal drag springs for the track, but you can still get them to hook hard and still have a nice drive on the street. A drag set up on a street car fucking sucks to drive around town. It's sloppy, nose dives and lifts just under regular driving conditions, floats on the highway etc. My buddy Mike gets his car to pull 1.5's on Sportlines. You can also look on SVTP and there is plenty of guys hitting good 60's on Sportlines.
