i would avoid rear drag springs at all costs anyway. almost every brand of "drag" spring are split rates. that is no way to make a car come out consistantly.
tire is one of those things that can cut both ways. a good suspension/chassis is and always will be teh way to get teh absolute most out of any combination. it allows you to run less tire and create better et's.
tire on teh other hand costs a lot less. a $300 set of slicks is an easy replacement for a $400 torque arm, $150 control arms, $100 shocks.....yo0u get the idea.
always be careful not to put too much tire on a car though. the rolling resistance of a slick/cheater slick is a lot higher than a drag radial of equal size. that costs a lot of time in the second half of teh track.
