Too expensive for me. And it really doesnt come with much. I would go with a kit from D&D for your cheapest best way out.
Im not sure I understand what you want to know though?

OK. Its a really nice setup (if you didnt pay for it... kind of expensive); but whats the problem? Are you worried that you will not be able to drag with it?

You could add 70/30 front struts, it will help alot with weight transfer. i would not go 90/10 on the street, its not very safe because the car will nose dive under hard breaking. You could also dump the sport springs, they usually lower the car and are not really condusive to hooking very well. BBK makes a decent set of drag springs with an air bag for the right rear. Also you can dump the rear quad shocks. Otherwise it just takes practice to hook well. You cant just mash the pedal and pop the clutch, youll have whorable 60ft's.

RE: Confused on what to do with suspension and car
The kit you have looks to be more for street or road race use than for drag racing. You'll need to change your suspension (shocks/springs) if you want something more drag friendly. Going that route will cost you some streetability though, so it really depends if this will be more of a daily driver or a strip car.
