Default Street Setups, hooking up decent

What are you running to hook up on the street? Mostly going out to the cars that dont see prepped tracks.

I have QALs up front, and im thinking about getting adj control arms and a TQ arm but would it be wise to get rear QALs?


The car will be on a MT still not sure what


What spring rates should I run?? and what should I set my shocks to?

QA1s on the rear (2-3 setting), Hotchkis lower control arms, Random technology adjustable torque arm (3 degree pinion angle) and M/T/ drag radials..you will hook.

BMR xtreme T/A
LCAS with relocation
Panhard rod
spohn swaybar
sfcs
QA1's 300 lb spring set on 3 up front
stock shocks in rear
hose mod in rear

325 DR Hooks up nicely

Lots of weight reduction off the front end and things to allow for proper weight transfer help too.

if you have hal's up front, you should be fine with stock shocks/springs on the back and a torque arm. m.t. drag radials are the ****!

i hooked low 1.5 60's on the street with m.t. drag radials and stock shocks/springs all around (no sway bars).

i did have a spohn torque arm, BMR sfc's, and non-adjustable LCA's.
