a set up for drag racing is way different than for road racing or auto cross. Drag racers want to plant the rear end, meaning get as much weight as possible over the rear wheels at start as possible. Road racing requires equal (or as close as possible) on all 4 wheels and a suspension that doesn't dive under hard breaking so the rear end gets light.
You can come up with a good compromise however. Adj shocks/struts will work for a compromise set up. You want to be able to adjust for either type of racing.
For road racing you want either soft springs and big sway bars, or vice versa. For drag racing a front sway bar that you can either adjust for less pressure, or disconnect entirely so the front end can come up and transfer weight.
Spend some time talking to the manufacturers, ask them what their suggestions are. Dennis at BMR is pretty knowledgeable. I'm sure the guys at Eibach, Roush, H&R or any of them can help guide you along, good luck !
