Default How's this for a starter kit?

Drag Race starter kit, that is.

Spohn chassis mount adjustable torque arm
Boxed lower control arms with poly bushings
BMR double adjustable chrome moly panhard bar
QA1 double adjustable rear shocks

Also want some weld-in subframe connectors, but undecided as to which ones to use. Don't know whether to tie them into torque arm with the three point version, or just go with standard front to back ones...also unsure as to whether I should stay with Spohn for subframes, or does it even matter?

Car right now leaves a little crooked...and is 100% stock suspension.

I was also considering an airbag in right rear, but never had any luck with one in the past.

Any other suggestions, feel free to chime in.

I would run rod end c-moly lower control arms, poly isn't the best for drag racing and also you won't be able to adjust the length which is important if you change the ride hight or tire size and need to center the wheel and/or adjust wheel base.

I'd get an anti roll bar, air bags are ok but they don't come close to working as good as a properly set up anti roll bar.

Through floor subframes are nice too, so when you add a cage you can weld it directly to the subframes and outriggers.

+1 on the anti roll bar. I have the Spohn rear drag bar. Leaves straight...

I'd give Tyson at PAF a call...>>>>>He makes one of the best CM SFCs I've ever seen and he can definitely tell you what you need to hook hard and go straight...The Spohn drag bar is a good choice, rear shocks are also as well as the Spohn TA, Tyson also makes his own LCA's with rod ends, etc...Definitely worth a shout...He also tunes suspensions for optimal performance...and he's local...
