Default Suspension components for a 10 second car

I Have looked for this all over and I cant find any concrete answers on what to do with suspensions on a 10 second CRX, we are currently at 11.5 as our best et but we plan on adding 150hp to the car between nitrous and a larger turbo and more PSI so we really need to find the suspension components that would glue this car to the ground.

we are limited to 25x8 slicks, thats our main problem and its why we really arent looking at 9's at least for the time being.

I know we need traction bars but our coilovers are no name's and our springs are just stock springs, I was reccomended omnipower coilovers but no more specifics than that, although the person who recommended them had a 9 second CRX on ground control{s so I don't know if ground controls are better or what.

Any imput on weight for the springs and the actual coilover systems and any other components would be greatly appreciated.

Omni has a good rear strut that uses a bigger piston design. Its very good for combined with a 1000lbs. spring in the rear and agx, koni, tokico front strut with a 400lbs. to 500lbs. spring in the front. If you have the money to spend go with the Strange or Penske set ups with the same spring rate. The springs you can get with almost any body just call an tell them what spring rate your looking for. Good luck
