Default suspension setup

i am about to invest in some suspension work and i am a little undecided on what to buy. i am thinking about a z10 traction bar, omni drag coilover system or tokico 5-ways with the skunk2 drag system. which one would you guys choose and why? or if you have any better ideas let me know. i am running slicks too if that helps any. and the car is a 93 civic coupe. still a daily driver so i cant go the wheelie bar route. but anything else goes.

spring rate is more important than the components themselves

the strange parts are extremely nice if you are willing to spend the money

i have the omnipower rear drag setup on my turbo 4 car and love it - works a lot better than the koni // ground control setup i had on there for a main reason of you can preload the spring/shock

and for the money - omnipower is a great deal

also what do you guys think about a traction bar. and is it necessary with the strang suspension. also i am running slicks and iv only heard that they eliminate wheel hop. can you guys fill me in a little more about traction bars.

Strange is nice but if you don't know how to tune in a double adjustable shock your probably best off w/ the Omnipower's...
