Single digit guys... What suspension??
Just wondering what kinda setups you guys are running. Any particular brand/shop any better than the other? I know Brians(Madmans) torque is working quite well for alot of guys...What about LCAs, PHR etc etc.....

Here's my setup, Jay billingsley has put my selection together and given great advice/customer service...
BMR Tubular Front Suspension (K-member and A-arms)
Strange Shocks, Single Adj. in the front Dbl Adj. in the back QA1 Springs but need to get that changed.
Strange Brakes
Bogart Wheels
Strange 12 bolt
Billingsley Anti Roll Bar
Billingsley "Short" Torque Arm
Billingsley Lower Control Arms
Billingsley Panhard (just because it matches the rest of my stuff)
If I could do it over again I would have gone all out race car and stuck with a Narrowed Lightweight Strange 9 inch, Manual Rack, Afco shocks, AJE Front Suspension with Coil Overs, and the new Front Hub brake thingy Billingsley Released. However I don't think I'll have any problems hooking with what I've got

well im just shy of 9's but i have just finished my suspension for 9's i have bmr everything, the only weak link was the trans mount torque arm which i just fixed with the new bmr relocation trans crossmember. for what the car has the suspension is working perfect and is definatly 9sec worthy

Good deal... Keep em coming. MY front is done. Pa K member, A arms, Strange light weight drag brakes and Hals. I had BMR poly/poly stuff out back but, this time out Im goin track only so Im gonna go solid stuff. Doesnt look like theres much difference in the LCAs and PHR. A good torque arm and the right springs/shocks seem to be the key.

Yes the T/A is also Wolfe. My car always cuts 1.3 60s and has cut several 1.2 60s so I would say it does a great job and I'm very happy with the Wolfe products.
