Question What suspension and chassis mods?

I recently ordered a bunch of suspension goodies:

BMR LCA's
BMR Adjustable PHRod
Brackets
Sub Frame Connectors
Drive shaft Loop
Hal Adjustable shocks front and back
6 point cage

Future:
Tubular K-Member w/arms
Torque Arm

I know I need to get that cage in there before I think about running 10's. I'm just curious about what suspenison mods you guys are running?
What settings are your Hal's at the track? Is the Torque Arm a number one priority?

Torque arm is very important. I'm running the BMR Extreme duty with the weld in cross bar. I haven't had any problems with this set up.

Stock springs with the HAL QA1 work pretty good and still give you some streetability. QA1 shocks are good, but I don't think that they are necessary, at least in my opinion anyway. Whatever you do, don't get lowering springs. They don't allow for proper weight transfer and therefore inhibit the QA1 shocks from doing there job adequately.

Nice list of parts, you will need everything you ordered.

Good luck.
I hope this helps
