Default What more for suspension?

What else couldI add for drag suspension on my car? Heres whatI have so far: Lakewood 90/10 and 50/50 struts, sub-frames, no front sway bar, UPR upper and lower adj. control arm(have notbought yet), 4 cylinder springs, centerline drag aluminum wheels, and M/T drag radial tires.I dont know too much about suspension butI know a little, for some stuff you might have to do some explaning.
