How about some more information? What kind of car are you racing? By drawing the springs down do you mean compressing the spring to preload it? Are they on the front or the back? Where are you racing, Bedford?

You will be changing much more than ride heights if you do that. Preload on the springs and other things. I am assuming you are running the sway bars? Typically FWD cars overload the front tires when turning especially the RF. Your best bet is to find ways to keep as much weight from transfering under deacceleration (Rear to Front). In answer to your question, I don't think I would do it but it may work, what will it do to your corner weights especially with the sway bar?
