How are Drag Springs for normal Driving?

I understand they wont be great but is it horrible for daily driving?

I only drive the car 3 months outta the year so no big deal.

mine work fine.....running coilovers in the rear with spherical bushed adjustable upper and lower arms, and adjustable shocks on all 4 corners with quick disconnects on front sway bar.
street manners are very acceptable!
awsome! traction!
if you have the power & slicks, this set up will be a wheel stander!!!!!

also, invest in frame connectors and torque box reinforcements! any mods 2 improve traction can be taken away by body flex.
a well set up suspension makes a world of difference!
a roll cage is also a help. i know it adds weight but.........it helps stiffen chassis reduceing power robbing body flex.

I've had my 50/50 Lakewood shocks and rear eibach drag springs on for a while. It felt pretty nice, but not a big difference from the lowering springs and koni shocks that were on it.
However, I just got my front springs and 90/10 struts put on yesterday...and man...these are NOT race only....sure they aren't good for cornering...but my car rides like a caddy now! I went over my typical neighborhood bumps to test it out. With my old setup it hurt when I hit big bumps and made a horrible THUD...with the new setup...i feel like i'm ridin on glass.
