Which Lowering springs with 18s?

just got the vert converted to 18" race stars and i want to start thinking about lowering springs. I have MT ET Street R 18" 305/45 on the rear with 255/55 18s on the front.

For those that have similar set ups, what amount of drop are you using and which ones. I think the OD of the new set up is really close to the stock 20" OD but want to make sure.

Thanks

Are you setting up the car for the drag strip?

Do you use it as a DD?

What are you looking to accomplish?

It's not a DD mostly just street weekend fun and drag every now and then. Should be close to 900whp when done so definitely want traction help.

Ideas?

BMR should be a good starting point. I'm not in tune with drag racing type suspensions.
