What to buy Suspension wise Well i finally killed my 10 bolt and since im going with a 9" or maybe a 12 bolt and i already have the rear so far apart i figure why not upgrade the suspenion. I have copetiton engineering rear drag shocks and both stock replacement and eibach pro rear springs i have found the stock to perform a lot better. I dont mind changing everything now. I am looking for what you guys have used and has worked well.
Im looking at potentioly purchasing Lca (idk if i should go adjustable or not) Panhard bar(adjustable or not?) tourque arm (chasis mounted?) and qa1 or maybe strange sa all the way around. im not sure if i should do a 300lb or 275 frot spring, gen f or r qa1 etc. also should i do a rear drag bar?
My car makes 400hp na + a 100 shot i want it to hook now and not have to change if i decide to go with a different setup and make 800hp or more...
Thanks in advance for all the input.

Believe it or not we have lots of guys running 9's with our full length torque arm and torque arm relocation crossmembers. It is very versatile powerwise and will work great both now as well as when you add more power later. Of course we have other options as well, but this combination would be my recommendation.
Unless you are going to be running a large diameter drag tire, there is no advantage by using adjustable control arms. A set of our TCA001 non-adjustable arms will work perfectly and are very reasonable. As for a panhard rod, I would just go ahead and get the adjustable unit. If you will be swapping rears, it's not necessary but sometimes the aftermarket rearends are not exact and require an adjustable panhard rod. For the minimal price difference, it just makes sense.
As for a drag style rear anti-roll bar, what kind of times are you currently running?

Thanks, but those pics are so small, we cannot see the juicy details! Bigger pics please! ;-)
10 bolt had motive 3.73 and a ta girdle but it didnt respond well to launching off of concrete on dragradials with a 100 shot. the rearend started to make noise and on my drive home i got on it a bit thats when it went completely and when it locked up my driveshaft broke in half.

An anti-roll bar is probably a little overkill at this point. Don't get me wrong, it will make the car much more predictable and consistent at the track but you will lose a little streetability in the process. What kind of 60 ft/times are you getting currently?
