Default Autocross/Strip Suspension

Anyone know the best way to kick some a** on the race course, but still put out some nice numbers at the dragstrip? I'm goin autocrossing in May and want to bust some nice numbers out against a pal of mine, but at the same time I'm plannin on running low 13s with the mods I'll have by then (intake, exhaust, chip, gears, etc.). Anyone who can help, please do, I have three months to get this stuff done and so much money to spend, so keep budget in the back of your head. Thanks!

Pretty easy.. you want grip both places, so you want upper and lower CA's, subframe connectors, etc.. the only real difference is weight transfer. on the strip you want weight to transfer over your rear wheels so you need the front suspension looser and easier to throw back and the back stiff so it stays planted.. track you want both to stay planted...
Pretty much.. anything adjustable. Airbags would work fine, but adjustable struts/shocks would probably still be better. I have the moroe adjustable struts.. makes a huge difference on what setting you have them on. I plan on tracking mine and its already been on the strip.
