Default Lookin into new into new suspension setup and want some input

Hey guys I got me a 91 crx si it is currently riding on skunk2 lowering springs with tokico blues up front and stock shocks in the back and an ETD racing front crossmember. with crappy ebay front and rear camber kits I want to upgrade my suspension.

I already ordered an ingals front camber kit (the one with the cammed ball joint) brand new front upper control arms. lower ball joints and new tie rod ends.( I figured these things are from 91 and probably need replaced)

I want to spend in the area of 500 bucks on new shocks/springs/coilover setup I was looking into the omni power ones and have heard good things about the new ones that bolt right into the EF.

My car is my daily during the summer and I take it to the drags a little bit on friday nights so I want something to help improve my 60ft times but not ride too awful should I be looking into the sport or the street apps?

Also any other ideas on other setups that are good would be awesome too. thanx
Casey

billet/poly mounts and an engine torque damper will help
hasport makes mounts for d series and b series and they are pretty affordable
the ETD really helps alot as far as ive heard.

Umm maybe I asked wrong I wanted input for suspension setups...I have the ETD traction bar and like it a lot and poly motor mounts I am planning on fabbing up a front motor mount for my setup though

yeah i was gonna suggest that too
you said you were wanting to improve your 60ft times so i suggested those cause you didnt say you had em
thats all
idk jack about drag setups.
straight line racing FTL in my opinion
