Default Drag Suspension

What are you guys running for drag suspension? I'm changing over from my current setup...

Suspension: PSR Tubular K-Member, PSR Tubular A-Arms, Maximum Motorsports Front Coilovers With 350lb. Hypercoils, Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber Plates, Maximum Motorsports Full Length Sub-Frame Connectors, Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Torque Arm, Maximum Motorsports Rear Coilovers With 250lb. Hypercoils, Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar, Maximum Motorsports Extreme-Duty Lower Control Arms, Maximum Motorsports Rear Sway Bar.

...to a setup that I do consistent 1.4 60fts. with. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

In looking at the MM site they do not even have COs in the rear for the "Launch Box". They just have the Adjustable RLCA. I was considering going coil-over in the rear but the cost is too high right now. Then I saw that the launch box didn't have rear COs associated with it so I figured I could just do it when I am independently wealthy. Since you do have the Rear COs then you might want to consider an adjustable shock if you do not have one so you can adjust the suspension for the track.
Only other suggestion would be battery in the truck if you have not already done so.

I will definitely be doing a battery relocation kit when I can. I was considering going with a fully double-adjustable Strange Shock for the front and rear to get closer to that 50/50 and 90/10 compression and rebound. That along with some softer springs and I very well might be on my way to the 60fts. I'm looking to get.

Thanks and other advice?

What are your current 60ft's? Do you still have the 6 speed or did you change it to an auto? What rear gear do you have? Is the current front adjustable? On my Cobra I have Koni single adjustable struts and just turning them to the softest setting made a .40 difference in my 1/4 mile time.
