new rear and suspension suggestions
I've got an 01 ss that I'm going to install a new 12 bolt and all new rear suspension after my deployment. I've already got Strano springs and their hollow sway bars. I'm planning to have the lca drop brackets installed on the rear. I need some help in choosing LCAs, Panhard bar and torque arm. I want to have polys on one end for the chassis and definitely adjustable panhard, possibly lca and torque arm. What suggestions do you have on set ups? I've only got bolt ons, eventually i'll go to a 383.

You have springs and swaybars specifically designed for handling, while all the other mods you listed that you want are strictly for drag racing.
What is important to you? Ride quality? Handling? 60ft times?

For your power and needs, I would recommend our bolt on Control arm relocation brackets (CAB-002), LCA's (TCA001), on car adjustable panhard bar (PHR002), and full length adjustable torque arm (TA001). Give us a call and we can give you a price on putting together a package deal.

You can either do the weld on or bolt on LCA brackets. Either way, if you do not get an adjustable torque arm, I would go with adjustable LCA's. You will want one or the other to be adjustable to get your suspension dialed in. Both would be ideal, but usually not necessary on a street car

Buy all adjustable components right from the start, and I strongly suggest to use weld in type relocators if they don't come already installed on the rearend.
The cost of the adjustable components is not too much different, and well worth the extra when it comes down to alignment and suspension tuning.
The Strange 12 bolt rear is a great piece, however there are other choices out there that you may consider as well. MWC is a direct dealer for Strange and we manufacture the ever popular MWC fabricated 9 inch rearend package. We guarantee the best prices and quality you will find.
