Default Need help finding a suspension set up on my race car????????

Hey everyone,

Im building a 89 turbo crx si and I'm stuck on what kind of suspension I should get. I'm not sure if I should do a full coilover or just keep the ground control coilovers and a strut combo. If anyone has any tips or can point me in the right direction that would be great. I'm not going to daily the car so I don't care if the ride isn't smooth. I'm mostly going to race the car at the track and street.

What sort of issues are you having at the track with your current setup?

Is this "Track" circuit or drag race intended?

If you already have GC coilovers just keep those and get some koni struts. And possibly some other springs if you want to do some testing.

What spring rates do you have right now?

Im currently still building the car and want to put a suspension set up that will not limit me when the car is up and running and money isnt a issue as long as what i get will work and not crap out on me after a few runs. I would rather spend the extra cash in the begining than have to buy one set up then have to buy another one after. The car is going to be used for drag racing.
