Default GOOD SETUP?

WELL JUST WANTED TO SEE IF I WENT THE RIGHT WAY AS FAR AS SUSPENSION. RIGHT NOW IM JUST SETTING MY CAR UP TO GO STRAIGHT BUT EVENTUALLY I WANT TO HAVE A ROAD COURSE SETUP! WELL HERE WE GO... I HAVE KYB ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS SETUP WITH SKUNK2 DRAG LAUNCH COILOVER KIT. I ALSO HAVE FULL-RACE TRACTION BARS AND THIS IS ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW. NOW MY CAR IS A DA SO IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT I CAN DO AS FAR AS SUSPENSION SETUP TO BETTER MY WHOLE SETUP IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

for drag, that should be fine. the stiff springs (most drag kits are in the order of 20k) will reduce squat on launch, and the traction bars reduce wheel hop to help your 60' times.

if you plan on driving the car on the street however, i would look into different spring rates in the back because 1000lb/in is spine-jarring stiff.

what rates are you running in the front? swaybars?
