For drag racing, Bilsteins aren't the greatest idea. AFAIK, they don't make a dedicated drag shock.

If you don't have money to blow on AFCOs, then I would get QA1 coilovers, and swap out the shocks to AFCOs when you can afford it. The QA1s will be a big improvement over stock, and you'll be able to adjust your ride height with the coilovers.

I don't like most of the drag launch springs on the market because they almost all have different springs for each side in the rear. I think that's just a band aid for not having the rest of the suspension setup correctly to get the car to leave straight.
