If you want a drag car lowering springs don't really do much. If you really want to make you car look like a drag car, get coil-overs, lower the front to the ground and raise the back all the way up. Then lower the compression in the rear. That way when you take off the back squats to put the most weight possible over the rear axle. Then you fit the wide Mickey Thompsons on the rear for maximum traction. To make full use of that though you would need a lot of power.

I go to the strip just for kicks, but a BMW doesn't not thrive at the strip...curves like at a road track are where BMWs do well.

Domestic V-8s own the strip.
