All depends on how much you want to spend. Are you doing it on a piece-by-piece basis, or doing everything at once?

I Didnt chase companies for helping me out so i could get hold of real reviewed customer experiences like people like UMI For LCA but BMR for there panhard bar for example .... i think i need a list of efficient product's from each sponsor for a real drag race setup on a street car !!
hope this help's but price is the last of my worries at this time !!
so instead of a sponsor vs sponsor thread , i hope for a list of the more efficient suspention from each sponsor

I run UMI stuff, and haven't had a problem with any of it yet. Spohn and BMR also make good stuff. A lot of it is just personal brand preference.

As far as suspension setup, the first thing to do is get rid of the "don't know what they are" springs and get a good spring/shock combo. Lower control arms and LCA relocation brackets go with shocks and springs - since you'll be lower, you need to adjust your control arm angle to eliminate wheelhop and increase bite. SFCs and a torque arm after that, and then sways.

You don't need a 4 link, there are guys running mid 7 second quarter mile times with a torque arm setup. If you want to do this in stages I would start off with a set of control arms and relocation brackets. What brand tires are you running. Nothing will make more of a difference than a set of Drag radials. These three things alone will make a significant difference.

If you want to buy a pre-made package with matched components, you could try a Level 1 Drag Race package below:



This simple package along with a set of drag radials has put many cars into the 10's and a few into the 9's!
