the full race traction bars are bitchen..i don't run them on my hatch because i've been buyign other shit, but i know people who do run them and they really do work, and they are well built..as far as cages go, you dont need a roll bar until you runn 11.49 or faster, and you dont need a cage until you run any pro class or eclipse 9.99. as far as spring/strut combos. if its a daily driver, street suspension is all you need. if you are going full race you will definately want a high spring rate for the rear and some adjustable struts or struts with a lot of rebound..for the front, you want middle of the road. as far as braces or bars, strut bars and sway bars wont do much for you because they work longitudaly not laterally which is where your force is directed. if you had a cage or a roll bar you can use the strut braces to stiffen the chassis and actually triangulate points. as tires go, several companies including nitto and bfgoodrich offer drag radial which are a dot approved street tire but are very sticky for the track, however they have a reduced tread life. if you are really planning on doing a lot of drag racing and still daily drive the car, pick up a set of slicks and change out your tires at the track...slicks are definately the way to go..

there are so many things you can do, it all depends on what kind of engine setup you are going to run and if you plan to keep the car streetable or not etc...give me an idea on how wild you are going to go and I can help you out more and give you ideas on what to look for/ stay away from
