drag racing suspension

Need some help on trying to get the right suspension setup for drag racing. Right now I'm on Megan Racing Track coilovers. Yes I know, not meant for drag but I got them for cheap from a friend and it does the job on lowering the car. Plus its really light in weight.

What front/rear coilover springrate is acceptable for my Evo IX that sees 1/4 mile action and weekend cruising? What about the dampering from the coilovers?

Do I need to upgrade to a bigger swaybar like 27mm? I''m currently running stock rear swaybar.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Contact Buschur Racing, They have a drag racing setup they developed for 9sec9.

Sway bars are for turning (autocrossing and track days).

8kg front, 6-8 kg rear depending on which type of tire you are running radial or slick. For a street radial a 6kg should get the job done
