eibach drop springs for a s10 will work good up front i put 2" drop springs in mine it dropped 2.5 inches up front with a iorn headed olds v8 the back im guessing you could get wagon coils since the spring rate is higher and maybe cut half a coil and use drag bags forthe strip? sorry no real idea on the rears just a guess i havent got that far on mine yet to know specifics

Why s10 springs? Eibach does make g-body lowering springs? Just curious

I don't think the s10 springs would be the best for 1/4 mile performance though. High spring rate works for good handling but it doesn't store energy like say the Moroso trick springs. They would use a lighter rate so they compress more to help with transfer.
For the rea you could use the same Moroso spings but i'm not sure if it would lower the car much. There is also people that use coilover springs on slightly modified stock perches. Just add in a taller center cup in the perch to keep the spring in.

moroso trick spring might work. if you have the front end weight look to see if they have one for your app. my sig pic has trick springs front and rear. front was just to heavy and hit bump stops and they were part #47215. now run moog 5660 looks nice and only runs 1/2 inch higher than what is in sig. btw i have have a 454 with stock heads
