Im fixing to order the same thing this week. Strange SA up front with 275lb springs (drag specific but my front end is light) and Strange SA 10 ways for a fox body out back. 300lb springs seem to be the norm for a street car.

I have the strange singles, they work well on my car and actually ride nice on the street. Make sure you get a couple spanner wrenches. I personally wouldn't use the bearing kit, they help the first time you set the ride height but will rust real bad if you street drive the car.

My bearing kit has been fine for 4 years, just put some antisese on it, wipe off the extra so it dosnt collecot to much road crap, the put more on over and under the nuts when you do toy move them. (and reclean it off after)

super budget I would do that strange single on the front R, ($150 each) and re use you stock coil and spring. (cut the lower washer to fit) bearing kit like $25

rear the cheap summit racing/destech? white 3ways. or the comp/eng. 3 ways are like $30-40 a set for a 3rd gen (little long for out cars but bolt right in) set them at 50/50. alot of guys have gone fast with that. I went 10.6s cam only on etdrags. 1.43 best no front sway, good rear, spool, gears, any rearend, is a good buget setup.

But with that said, going faster with DR, good DA shocks were worth the money 1.44 on 275s

The torrington bearing kit or however they spell it. It sits on the bottom of the spring so when you are crankin tension up, they turn a little easier.

Good to know. My friend has them and they rusted out but I don't think he did anything to prevent it.

I can get you setup with the entire package for well under 2500.00 no problem. Highest quality parts, lightest weight, and proven to work. Give me a call and we can go over all the fine details.

If it was my car I wouldn't change the stock stuff.
I'd remove front sway bar if not already done, LCA relocations, decent torque arm and a BMR track bar.
I bracket raced my car on 315/35/17 Nitto 555r's and ran 1.50-1.52 60' consistantly. 420rwhp setup.

Don, would you leave the factory bilstein shocks and factory SLP spring? also
my new moser 12 bolt has adjustable LCA brackets welded on so i'm allset there , i already have BMR LCA's and adjustable panhard, what do you mean by "trackbar"? the bar above the panhard bar ?

i will be picking one of them up also.. but would you run the bilstein shocks or replace them?.. there more of a handling shock rather then a drag race shock .
