Rebuilding suspension. It's completely shot

Alright, I tore up the 1/4 with a 92.xx mph and with a 15.4xx Timeslip. (14.7xx at sealevel) I've got a buddy in Calgary running 14.5's (13.8's) Who hooks it and has a 94mph.

I run a terrible 2.4-2.6 sixty foot.
Before i start buying subframes panhard bar lca's and all the other fun stuff i want to COMPLETELY rebuild my suspension.
I have a new idler arm and lower ball joints in.

Problem number one.
My car is 13 yrs old, so the suespension has settled.



My rear shocks are completely molested so the rear sits a tad lower than the front



I like the ride height of the car right now and wouldnt mind if it was dropped a TAD. All things considered, is it sitting an inch lower right now? what would you guys say?

For the front i'll buy a PST kit.
I'm going to be dragging and auto crossing so i need some hardcore shocks that i can adjust. What about the HAL 12 way adjustable? Are they good? YEs i know they run like 400 a shock, but what else could i buy? Struts?
What kind of drop kit would you suggest? I dont want anything sloppy. I'd rather sacrifice my times in the 1/4 as opposed to times in autox, as it would also make autox'ing with 90/10's a tad bit dangerous
Eibach sportline? Should i just buy some KYB's to hold me over ? Any ideas?

Another point of interest is the Torque arm, Is the Spohn Torque arm built for 1/4? I need a t/a that will be good for both. I dont mind paying a little bit more, i just need something that works good for my requirements.. (Dont get me wrong spohn is the Cat's a s s )
Also the Spohn subframes, is there anything better on the market? And how much so marginally or substantially? I dont want to shell out dough for some kenny browns if theyre marginally better... etc.

Thanks in advance
