Help with picking parts out I'm trying to figure out what suspension I should be changing with a goal of at least 11.50. as thats what the tuner is telling me i should run with 100 shot 3200 stall 3.73's headers intake. only suspension i have now is some poly/poly lca's and relocation brackets. the lca's are gonna be replaced but have around $1200-1400 for getting the parts. am thinking of rod ended panhard bar and lca's, adjustable relocated torque arm, and maybe coilover set up for the rear? any useful help greatly appreciated!!
last year with mostly stock car was running 13.2 on drag radials but had 1.9x 60' but was also spinning off the line and hitting rev limiter on 1-2 upshift so if it wasn't hooking up then i can't imagine how much worse it will be with the other goodies on it now

UMI Double Adjustable LCA's $169.99
UMI Double Adjustable on car PHR $114.99
UMI Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm - Long Tube Header Set $368.99
UMI 3-Point Subframe Connectors- Bolt-In $299.99 (can be welded latter)
UMI 3" Sway Bar Install kit $74.99 (will fit a 10 bolt, latter fit a 9")
Spohn Spohn 1" Rear Sway Bar-Solid Chrome Moly $140
Heater Hose Mod the rear springs $3
Don't waste your money on rear coil overs - QA-1 double adjustables or Afco's From Mad Man.
You may want to ditch the LCA Relocation Brackets, you want the LCA to be level or slightly elevated on the rear(axle end), the LCA's with the arm droped down will improve the street manners, but effect the weight transfer for drag raceing.
Upgrade your front brake rotors and pads...
Everything I recommended will still be in line with a 10 second car for you latter in life.

That's a pretty conprhensive list of rear suspension.
May want to start looking into a 12 bolt or a 9" rear, you'll eventually kill that 10 bolt.
Nothing beats a pair of sticky rear tires, Hoosier QTP's seem to have better street and track manners than the MT ET Street Bias Ply.

If your serious about it all call MWC and talk to them. I got their suspension when i got my rear end and it was amazing quality and as cheap if not cheaper than every other suspension company
