Another thing to consider might be that those people who lowered their cars did not correct for suspension geometry, which will negate any anit-squat that was there. If you are going to lower the car and still want to launch then you should install LCA relocation brackets and usually an adjustable PHR as well.
If I were aiming for cornering prowess I, personally, would probably go for ~1.5" drop, 600lb/in, linear rate springs in the front but I can't imagine what these would do for the drag racer
It's hard to have both worlds

Thanks, do you know where i could get some DSM springs? I dont really care about cornering. I just want it to look good and not be hurt TOO bad at the track. I guess from what you guys said i should probably go with the DSM springs and bilsteins. Thanks again.

They are a CZ28 vendor...
http://www.dynamicmotorsports.com
Looks like their online catalog is out of comission at this moment Just shoot an email to eric@dynamicmotorsports.com
They did have a huge GP on these springs but I think it's done They should still be cheaper than the ProKit from Eibach. Don't forget the LCA relocation brackets... they are a must! While they are all very similar I think the most popular brand right now are the Spohn units (DMS, BMR, etc., also make them).
As far as shocks go... the Kyb AGX might be better for your drag use since they are adjustable (you can really soften up the fronts at the strip). The Bilsteins are going to be better for cornering but you might want to try the Kyb's for drag/daily driver. QA1 (formerly HAL) would be the best but come at a higher price.
These are only suggestions of course... you have to make your own decisions

Which kind of brackets to get, the bolt ons or the weld ins. I know a lot of people who have gone with bmr so i will go with those. Can i just do the brackets or do i need LCA's? Thanks

Whenever I'm working with a member that is going to be loaded so critically I go with weld in. Some people don't like the idea of welding something onto their car, they want something more reversible, or want something they can do themselves (if they don't have a welder). From a pure performance perspective, welded parts are the only way to go.
You do not need LCA's. People will buy them to save weight or prevent flexing, but it's not something you're going to notice on most cars. If you have some money down the road and want some parts to jazz the car up they are fine but certainly not necessary.
