Default What Next??

Ok well I have a 01 ws6 six speed and already have Lt's, ory, pulley, All the Free-Mods, Lid, tune (not dyno tunes yet) cat-back. I ran a 12.9 @ 107 the other day at the track with street tires. I am deffinatley getting drag radials soon. Any suggestions on what to do next, I was thinking on doing some suspension upgrades such as lower control arms sub-frame connectors, and maybe a stronger torque arm, I will eventually be doing heads and cam but it will be a while before I can afford it and I would like to prepare my car for the power.

ditto that i'll be running some drags in the next week and whether it breaks before h/c swap or not I'm going to be in the market for a 9" ...better to be prepared and not have your car down longer than planned (mines a DD... don't know if thats your situation)

get some 4.10 gears, they will run you bout 150 and another 40 or so for an install kit, its one of the best mods out there, it'll take another .2 of ur quarter, and yes you'll need lower control arms, etc. to hook up, but when you do you'll be lightning

Well Should I be concerned about a rear end before suspension? What key suspension parts do I need and are the most important?
