Default Car height for drag

hey guys in order to fit my slicks i had to raise my car in the front. I installed stock springs up front but left the rear with the drop springs. My question is will leaving the rear dropped have any effect racing my car? is there too much weight distributed to the rear of the car now that the front is so high? any disadvantages of running my car this way?

you hit the nail on the head... it will put too much down force on your car in the rear and cause some serious squat... but i could be wrong?

i do have adjustable shocks so if i turn it to the hardest setting would that help any? would anyone recommend putting the stock springs in the rear too?

stock springs are too soft. when u launch, it will dip. id put adjustables back on in the front and just put it all the way up. raise the back up a lil bit to.
