z28bryan, hit it right on the money, We offer several different versions of all of those parts. BMR'S parts can withstand the abuse of daily driving or a 7 second 200 mph blast down the track. I will post you a link to our site. Take a look at what we have to offer and give me a call if you have any questions about which parts are right for you.

Thumbs up UMI Performance is always a good suggestion!

Hello
I noticed that you are interested in some aftermarket suspension parts. Well I just want to throw this out there for you as a option that UMI Performance also offers a wide variety of parts that might be of interest to you. We offer parts in mild steel and Chrome moly (for the weight savings). Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks

Before you take Bryan's advice, let us know your use for the car. You mentioned the strip, but is this a DD that you want to take to the strip sometimes? A secondary street and also strip car? A strip only car? If street, do you care about cornering at all, or just straight line performance?

A set of rear LCA's, possibly relocation brackets, and sticky tires ... that'll improve your launch .
