Sportlines are good for a drop and a comfortable ride… if you look on a lot of diff cars eibach offers, the spring rates are very close to stock… but they are progressive rate… the more you load the spring the stiffer it gets…

From what I can gather progressive rate + drag racing prolly isnt the best but i could be wrong
