"Ultimate" roadracing FC suspension setup = ?

Apparently there are different ways to setup and tune a suspension for different driving applications - drag, autoX, etc. What are the components of the "best" all-purpose roadracing setup for a N/A (if it matters) FC?

I posted this in the 2nd gen forum, because I don't want any damn first or third gen ideas

And if you want to flame me for not searching, I'm too damn lazy.

Screw drag racing, drag race between the corners then see who has the most ***** and driving skill. If you do not care about ride quality, going with delrin bushings throughout would be the best for a track plus the dtts eliminator bushings. Coilovers (I like double adj konis w/ GC) all the way around w/ lets say 500lb. front and 300-350 lb springs in the rear. Camber/ caster plate in the front and a camber link in the rear to replace thge sublink. Mazdatrix offers some new camber links for the rear that adjust each whell seperately and a lot easier. You could even run both types to eliminate any spongy rubber points. Larger sway bars (adjustable even) with spherical rod end sway bar links. Strut bars for the front and rear etc.

It could be done for $2000 (even less or much, much more) if you get some used parts (sway bars, strut bars etc) and you do it all youself. The big expense is shocks/ coilovers. That all depends on your budget and what you need or want to brag about.
