If you like you can give me a call here at the office and I can discuss the options I have available. We have a few fast stock suspension cars (see sig)

ive had exelent luck with qa1 12 way adjustable shocks with the drag coils in the front, i have stock z28 springs as well with qa1 in the rear with BMR lower control arms. i recently put in a spawn k-member with lower and upper control arms. havent ran the car yet. with the stock junk k-member and that set up on a procharger it went a 1.49 60foot on the back tires. good luck man!

just the basic suspension parts and a good set of tires is the only real combo.

you need shocks... then a good torque arm setup, lca's, relocators, and a panhard if you have the car lowered.

you have a dual exhaust setup, so you're kinda limited on t/a's. i so happen to have a crossmember available for the duals with a loop incorporated, adjustable torque arm link, and a bitchin' chromemoly torque arm. Strange and AFCO shocks also are on sale now.
pm me or call the shop for complete quote. everything listed in the vendors sale section.
