Coilover or 4cly springs?

[Proto]

Since I have the motor out of the car I decided to replace my front K-member and A arms with an AJE setup. But I am still debating on what setup to go with. the car is a street/Strip setup with mostly street time. I am only going to be putting out about 350-400hp

setup 1) would be either a set of 4cly springs in the front with Lakewood 90/10 struts and stock rear springs with a bag. or a set of Drag springs all around.

setup 2) would be coil over in the front and either the stock struts or the Lakewood 90/10 struts. with the current springs in the rear (they appear to be about a 1" drop spring)

what setup would hook better? I have seen and heard a few things that makes me think I won’t be putting enough power to the ground to get good weight transfer with the coil over setup. And that the 4cly spring setup would work better for me. I have no plans to go with a blower. The goal with the car is to stay N/A and run around 11 ½

any help/advice would be appreciated.

You have to buy the additional spring perches from aje to use the stock front springs, but that is the way I would go for you, primarily because you said it's mostly street, and most coil over setups tend to be a bit noisy for everyday use. My buddies car has been 1.43 sixty w/ 4cyl front springs and 90/10's

Thanks, I have was leaning towards the 4cly springs and stock v8 springs with a bag in the back for now. The car is just a weekend/nice day car, but the wife will be driving it every now and then too.

once i get the new motor and front suspension done it will be on the road. Then once winter rolls around i will start working on the rear suspension.
