Default sh- load of suspension mods, whatcha think

ok well i had a decent chunk o money come my way and i already have a decent setup engine-wise so i thought i'd put some money into making her hook.
so heres what i just got done ordering, cant wait till it all comes in and i can start putting stuff on.
spohn crossmember mounted torque arm
spohn 1" swaybar
spohn subframe connectors
ZR1's 11" rear 9.5" front
BFG DR's 315 rear
i already have spohn lower control arms, and LCA relocators.
now i know some will say what I'm about to say is stupid but.....i really want to make my car hook hard enough to actually get some air under the front tires. i dont want to do it all the time but just to get it on film once would be cool. mostly i want to "hook and book". i'd say 520whp and a slew of suspension mods should lift the tires.

i had the same goal as you (front tires) and i've heard that it's all in the suspension, it's possible even with the motor in stock form.

i was thinking about some springs and shocks, but i used everything i had (and then some) to get this. but i am selling my bike very soon, so then i will probably get springs and shocks all the way around. till then i will be researching which ones are best. i know alot of people say QA1's but are they the best for the price or the best of the best. i will have about 1500 after paying off what i owe on the bike.
