Your wheel/tire combo is going to make it kind of pointless to spend money on handling upgrades, frankly. A car optimized for drag racing will have a very stiff rear spring rate with rear dampers that have really high compression and low rebound rates (the old "90/10" shocks). The front will have a softer spring rate and also dampers with high compression and minimal rebound. This all sucks ass when it's time to turn a corner, which is part of why you see so many built cars spin out after a series of tail wags at drag strips.
So all that said, what kind of upgrades are you actually looking for from aftermarket suspension parts?

Lol well more so for launching better, what is weak points on the factory parts. Doing hard launches on stock parts isn't always the best. Factory parts weigh more than aftermarket. Replacing all the factory with aftermarket lightens it up a lot. Etc etc Aftermarket will always be better than stock for racing
