Exactly the reason why street cars do not need them.
Glad you made a point about how they don't help in straights, becuase it is a common myth that they help in the quarter mile.
If you don't belive me, play Gran Turismo 3 on your PS2 and test run a car with full downforce and zero downforce. I hate using GT3 as a refrence, but it is a "real driving simulator." I trust that the developers knew what they were doing.

however the most important thing that is usualy overlooked by all these street "racers" is a front spoiler, usualy built in to the airdam/bumper cover. those little black "wings" (like on the acura body kit) are also helpful.

Also a good point, because a rear spoiler puts most of its downforce on the rear of the chasis. Putting them in the front helps establish a 50/50 balance of downforce, front and rear.
