Default suspension set ups

i am wondering what all there is to do to make the car bettor for auto x compared as to drag racing. like what parts nit to do. i am presuming that there cant be much a difference between an everyday driver that is set up for drag/ auto x. i just didn't know if you coukd stifen it up to much. i would like to do lowering sorings since i love tehy way these cars look when they are dropped and plus for teh bettor handling as well. but any info on teh difference in teh two wil be helpful and this car is going to remain to be a daily driver for quite a few years to come.

well for one, a drag set-up and a xcross set-up are night and day...one is set up for going str8 and the other for turning on rails....there are a lot of opinions to the set-up/parts to use...so for xcross this is what i would recommend for great results:

Koni DA Shocks
Strano Springs(lowers your car)
Strano Sway Bars(35mm up front, 22mm in the rear)(hollow)
UMI/BMR tubular lca's
UMI/BMR Adj PHR
UMI/BMR boxed sfc's
UMI/BMR adj torque arm
good set of tires
practice
