So far all I have really done suspension wise has been rear QA1/HAL 12 way adjustable shocks and Lakewood LCA's (no relocation brackets). What else is in line and has the best results?

I had bought the spohn level one traction package from lmperformance. It was chromoly for $700 and had the adjustable torque arm, adjustable panhard and the LCA's, but you already have those.

Any strut tower brace will vastly improve rigidity, as well as sway bars. LCA relocation brackets are great for more traction and for only $60. Subframes are cheap too.

I think it's odd that you got the rear shocks instead of the fronts first. IMHO I think you should get the front shocks, relocation brackets, PHB, adj torque arm, sfc and dont forget sticky tires.

Get some springs, and drop it a little bit.

he also never mentioned if this a straight performance car or a turn taking muscle machine.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm more concerned with straight line suspension that helps the e.t. drop rather than for handling purposes.

I dont want to drop it yet because that just messes up the weight transfer for the strip. Id rather get the car to its goal first, then worry about aesthetics like the look of a dropped car.

I bought the rear shocks because the rear passenger shock is blown. so every bump I take, it hits hard back there. The fronts are still very firm. Plus they are a lot harder to do...

I will probably get the relocation brackets since they are so cheap. I thought a PHR was mainly for dropped cars???

no SFCs? First mod I did to my car, before a K&N

I agree 100%


I can understand that. If the back blew the best thing to do wouldve been upgrade but I wouldve just put c/e's back there. For the price they cant be beat. The fronts may still be firm but you would really benefit from some adjustables up front with springs rated for your setup.

what are c/e's? I got the QA1's pretty cheap... and thought why not. I will do the fronts eventually, but no hurry there.

I want to get the back half of the car covered for some good hole shots, since the motor is pretty much done unless I want to do heads and more internals.

I have mine set for curves, I do a little bit of road racing...

C/E comp eng rear drag shocks. The fronts are more important if you really want those "good hole shots".

tfs95z28

arent drag shocks 90/10's?

I still need it to be a somewhat comfortable ride since it is a daily driver... that is why i went with the QA1's since they are like a 70/30 distribution...

With my set up I left the stock springs/Decarbon shocks alone and went with SFCs, PHB, LCAs, and tunnel brace mounted TA (2.5 deg negative pinion angle), and a bigger rear sway bar..Last year with both sway bars in with 255 50 R16 M/T radials I went 1.55 to 60' all day long and it still rides nice on the street....This year we removed the front sway bar and added big n little Bogarts and 275 50 15 M/T radials...Seems to hook harder on the street but haven't been to the track yet..Similar cars are going 1.43-47s with the same set up...doesn't handle too bad either even w/o the front sway bar and the little 165s up front...

SFC's, PHB, STB, Torque Arm, Shocks. UMI performance sells some good quality parts at reasonable prices imo. I have their LCA's and PHB and couldnt be happier.

rear c/e's are adj. mine are set at 50/50.

K member, Extreme torque arm, lower control arms (relocation brackets if needed), QA1 shocks all around w/ the front springs 275 lbs or 300 lbs. You can use the springs from a 6 cyl camaro/firebird in the back. Kenny brown subframes. Take your front swaybar off so your front suspension can open up some more at the launch (don't really need it for drag racing). BMR, Sphon, UMI are all pretty much the same.

tfs95z28

yeah, i plan on doing the front shocks to QA1's eventually. Ill have to look into the relocation brackets, sounds like everybody loves them and they do wonders.

Ive always wanted to do SFC's, but just never got around to it, now is as good of time as any

Is a torque arm that good of an upgrade? I see high hp cars around here running the stock one and doing fine with it...
