Those springs will hurt u. But that being saud, tubular lower control arms and double adjustable rear upper control arms and MT drag radials. Of u have $$ left over some adjustable shocks.
I am running stock springs and kyb adj shocks and am in the hi 11's

Try some adjustable struts and shocks. Don't worry with control arms. The springs are gonna hurt more than anything.

Like others have said springs
you need to choose weather your not you care more for stance or drag racing.
i would say that going with steeda sport springs will meet you in the middle for stance and performance
rear upper/lower control arms. i would suggest that if you don't have a shop or know how to adj upper control arms than get non-adj uppers and if your not going to use slicks than get non-adj lower control arms
full length sub-frame connectors
Also suggest (its only for track use) Steeda Anti Roll Bar
i have one that i haven't installed, but my buddy that is on this forum (LM_Coogs) has one and said its amazing for drag racing
or could go all out with a MM Torqe Arm and PanHard Bar
Adj shock/struts (that way you can set em up for drag racing and then the street)
Hope this helps it starts getting to be a bunch of money with setting up a suspension
another suggestion i would like to make is getting on MM site they have different suspension packages you can get

Good luck

that is how i was, if i care about drag racing alot more and my times that much i would have went with Steeda, but i wanted stance alot more so went with the H&R super sports, they for sure aren't good for drag racing on times, pretty much the same thing about your springs

good luck
