suspension advice
suspension advice Needing some help around shocks and maybe a sway bar for my car.
Car: 19998 z-28
Cam and fast 90/90
3.73
torq arm and relocation bracket
DS loope
LCA
LCA relco bracket
PH bar
10 bolt right now (upgrading to a 9 inch or M9)
4000 stall
I ran 11.94 last rear with the car shifting at 5900 rmps so its got alot more in it.
But i want to upgrade my shocks and don't know tons about this aspect of my car.
I drive the car mainly on the street and take it to the track every so often and then do some side racing....
I was looking at QA1'a with 300lbs springs but not sure if these would be good for me or something eles? I was also told just buy the Koni adjustable shocks and i can adjust them for the track and for the street.... just not sure what wway to go... i only drive the car maybe 2000- 3000 miles in the summer.
Also was wondering about a rear sway bar. Good things to get or hold off and spend money eles where?
Any help i can get would be greatly appriciated.

not sure on a spring rate but if your looking to go with coilovers i definately recommend just saving some extra cash and going with afcos or if your looking to stay cheaper go with strange. are you looking for a handling sway bar or a drag sway bar?
Get the BMR extreme sway bar. We carry them. Also either Strange or AFCO shocks. Give us a call and we can come up with a package for you. 225-673-3533
Thanks for the recommendations. Our rear xtreme sway bar is one of the best on the market and is a farily easy install. As far as shocks go strange are the best deal. I would use a 300lb spring on a street car. If you have any questions about our bar or which shocks to use give me a call. Im in the office till 5:30pm est.

I know Madman does! Give him a call, that is all he does is build and tune race car suspensions, you can't go wrong with any advice he will give you and from what I can tell he is usually glad to help!
