Default Madman TA or double adj. front coilovers?

If you can only do one of these choices, which one would make the best improvement. I already have a Spohn TA and stock front shocks with Hotchkis springs, btw. Does it matter how its already launching?

Since you already have a torque arm, i'd say go with the AFCO 1370F front coilovers. The adjustability and ability to now scale your car and set up the front-rear and left-right weight biases will benefit you more.

call him and ask.....

although judging from the mod list you're going to need the T/A more to handle that power.

If you already have a decent torque arm I would say get the shocks. Lot of guys run well on the Spohn arms.

+1. Call Brian and get his opinion. He is very straight forward and honest. I've delt with him numerous times and run his torque arm on my personal car. I have nothing but good things to say about him

Strange or AFCO front shocks/spring combos. this will do way more for your weight transfer than another brand torque arm.

I agree with Erik. Shocks and springs.

That's what I was hoping for because you can adjust ride height with them.

You can tell Outlaw's front end is working with him running 7's.
