Question Whats a good suspension combo for street car with 3,500lbs?

Looking for a nice set up to add what I have, want to try and run 10's n/a
with this 410 stroker. I will soon add a 12 bolt after I break this stock one so I will be on drag radials for now

I already have the following

1LE suspension with Koni shocks - BMR tubular subframe's
GMS adjustible panhard rod - Hotchkis STB -

I was thinking a nice torque arm but is there a torque arm that I can use that will work on the stock rear and then a 12 bolt? Also what LCA's?
TIA

if it aint broke don't fix. i have COMPLETLY stock suspension and ran low 1.7's on motor and mid 1.5's on spray with my 3.73 10 bolt. i am now getting an 8.8 with 4.10's and am hoping for 1.5's on motor and 1.4 on spray. I am a cam only M6 with a 150 wet shot BTW.mid 11's on motor and mid 10's on spray.

hahaha
thats exactly the way I see it too. I figure if I dont just dump the clutch I can use this stock rear with 3.42's for a while. I will also be spraying the car and looking for over 700rwhp. So for the meantime I will only use DR's


what kind of tires were you running and what size?

Very nice ET's

Ya I got a question. When you get spanked, does your car become the SUX2BEME car?
