Default Simple Rear sus for a Botlon car???

Well Ive got QAL-Rs up front, with no front sway bar, im going to get a perch and lower the front a lil bit. But what should I do with the rear sus? LCAs are on the list but what else?

I want to lower the rear but im not sure wich spring to use, also what shock to go with?...

Since this is a bolton car, I dont think I need a rear sway bar yet

If you are planning to drag race I'd suggest not lowering it.

Why???

As long as you have a set of LCA relocation brackets you will be fine to lower it. I have QA1 Coilovers in the rear with a 150lb spring, and they work great. I have the car lowered to the tops of my 275/60/15 BFGs Drag radials and it looks pretty bad ***

Your car is the one that always comes to mind when people say you cannot lower a car for drag racing because it will hurt you more then help, by the way you car looks great

Yeah & John's car is a heavy bitch too

I can set the front height, but I need somthing to lower the rear....

Prokits or somthing seem to sound good to me...
