Ground Controls coilover sleeves (you can choose any spring rate) & Koni Sport shocks (commonly known as "Yellows") will out perform those other setups and only cost about $800 (for a Civic/Teg). Plus they include a lifetime warranty as long as they aren't abused...

They have adjustable rebound damping. The adjustment range is huge, and can cover a wider array of applications than any other simillarly priced coil-over shock. If you choose your rates correctly, you can have a "Jack-of-all-trades", but remember that leaves you as a "master-of-none"...
I don't know anything about drag racing though, so I cannot comment on that sort of susupension setup...

Actually Koni did a lot of development for fwd drag race valving and found that the normal off the shelf Sports are pretty darned good for most cars. The valving of an fwd car for drag racing is much closer to a good performance street valving than it is for a front engined, rear drive car is.
After working with a number of people, we decided that sticking to Sport was a pretty good all around set-up for most cars although we can do custom valving if wanted however the Street side suffers. The biggest variable on rear set-up is whether or not the car has wheelie bars and thus the spring rates used.
