Suspension Help
I have now ( BMR Subframe connectors, BMR K-member, BMR Torque Arm, BMR Lower Front A-Arms, BMR Rear Adjustable lower control arms, Relocation Brackets, BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar, Front/Rear Hal Shocks, Sway bar, Eibach front/rear springs and Drive Shaft Safety Loop ) so i want to know what else i need for drag racing ?
Thanks

Do you feel you need more hook at this point? How have your times been affected by your current suspension set up? The only things left that you could do is to switch to the short torque arm and get a drag rear sway bar. Also, you could ditch the front sway bar when you race. I haven't had a front sway bar for months.

The anti-roll bar is a good mod if you're making enough power to twist the chassis off the line. Personally, I'm not making near enough power to justify it, so I just have a stock sway bar.

Anti-roll bar is better for drag racing hands down. If it's a street driven car be sure to go with a poly bushing end link set-up because there is a significant noise effect with the adjustable extreme anti-roll bars. I would install what you have, remove the front sway bar and adjst the shocks for ideal transfer and see how the body twist is. The adjustable shocks can help balance the car as well. Then decide how much rear anti-roll bar you need. Depending on your power level , you may find that a lesser aggressive rear bar isn't needed.
FWIW- you have a great start already for a nice drag set-up. Good luck!

ok, i thought i responded to this earlier......odd.
anyway, earlier i said that if you were looking to get a better bite/60', i would look into different springs. i'm not familiar with the spring rate of the Eibach's, but i wouldn't think that they're ideal for drag racing. if i'm wrong, someone correct me. do the anti-roll bar if you're planning on going faster than mid 10's, and remove the front sway bar if you haven't already. and yes, the Madman t/a is GREAT, but the BMR X-treme unit has some fast cars using them with great results too. they do make a pretty decent piece. if you're looking to go low 9's or faster, then i would definately say there is something to be had with Madman's t/a. that's just my oppinion, and xxx can prove me wrong if possible. i have a BMR X model, and was planning on using it, but recent results of Madman's t/a has made me reconsider because i do plan on going 8's by next year and i don't want to change it later.

I have nothing against the other tq arms.. I just seen first hand what Madman builds his out of, and if it's staying together under our cars @ 3500 pounds and 1200-1500 hp its pretty tough.
