Do you have a limited slip diff to put down all the power you'll be making? If not, drag suspension should probably be the least of your concerns at this point.

LSD wont really help with traction THAT much. If you are looking for a "drag" coilover Buddy Club RSDs are your best bet. They have stiffer spring rates then the TEIN Flex.

Huh? An LSD will cut 60' times by a couple tenths and keep 1-2 and 2-3 shift from spinning. Suspension will only help at the start.

But if it is only a drag car, I'd just buy a set of Tein SS (or basic) and a set of firmer springrates for the rear. No need to spend a lot of cash on a drag-only/street car when all you need is firmer rear rates.
