Default Drag Racing Shocks and Springs?

After my first time at the track about a month ago, I'm hooked.
Broke my cherry with a 12.0, my second run 11.5 at 125 with a bog, then two 11.7s. These runs were with a bad coil.
I have Megabite Jrs uppers and lowers, could someone recommend a shock and spring combo for drag racing? I do drive the car to work when its not wet out. I also have a set of MT DR 275/60. Full length subs, tq box reinforcements.

Thanks, guys info much appreciated. Now that a I think about it may have to install a cage before getting more traction. Another tenth and they won't let me run at the track.
