So what your saying is you want a street suspension with a drag bias.

The first thing you should do is get some good UCA's and LCA's. A good sturt/shock combo is also a must. I've heard the tokico adjustables are really good, but some Lakewoods would do the trick. 70/30 would be ideal but 90/10's are not as extreme as people say. When if comes to springs, don't go too firm. I will always suggest front coil over conversion, the rear stock springs are good enough, but the front are an issue.

just put a set of hpm mega bite jr's in.
if your not a regular track guy...you don't need to even bother w/ the uppers.
just the lowers...and get a set of cheap rims you can throw some cheater slicks on...you'll bang out ez 13's

my old coupe w/ southsides, 4.10's and long tubes...on et streets went 13.20's off the bottle and 12.50's on it.

you absolutely don't need alot of parts to go fast
