Default "Hardcore" racers- what is your suspension setup?

What brand SFCs, LCAs, springs, shocks, etc do you have? What do you recommend, if different from yours? Outline your complete chassis and suspension setup here, please.

Default Re: "Hardcore" racers- what is your suspension setup?

Front:
QA1 shocks/springs
No swaybar
PA Racing chromemoly K-member/A-arms

Rear:
Madman chromemoly torque arm
Madman chromemoly frame connectors
QA1 shocks
Stock springs
Wolfe Racecraft anti-roll bar
BMR adjustable "race version" lower control arms
Home-fabbed LCA relocation brackets
Spohn adjustable "race version" panhard bar
Ride height is stockish all the way around, but when the car comes back out again it should be lowered some front/rear, if I can keep the suspension working well w/less ride height.
