Default coilover for drag?

Is coilover good for drag racing. I seen a lot of post about coilover, but my buddy was telling me coilover are more for looks. So what is a good drag racing set up. Could i use stock shocks vs aftermarket. I know aftermarket is better, but would just a spring job do the trick???

i read some posts, and it seem like you can run a skunk 2 drag spring w/ their coilovers in the back. But none of the post cover what kind of spring to use in the front. I guess stock shocks can be use in the back right? So my questions what to get for the front.
