Good debate guys. I have no experience with coil-overs, but if they require frame mods, I don't want to do that.

I measured the ride height. I get 9" in the front and 12" in the back. Not sure how its showing 9" in the front, with the front wheel so deep in the fender? It's a 26.5" tire in the front, so maybe that comes into play? The back is raised 2.5" to clear the 275 Nitto drag radials. It doesn't hop or hit the tires, but is a little stiff out back. I would have to change the rear tires to take the spacers out of the rear suspension.

How do you choose springs when going from a drag set-up to a road-handling setup? I'd like 9-10" in the back and 8.5" in the front with it all sorted out.
