Default whats a better investment ?

4 new shocks w/ front drag springs ? or a spohn torque arm ?
It is a street car w/ mild drag strip usage still in college so price is a concern but id rather wait for something good. i also have 49k miles. I dont auto X and i have v6 rear springs and SFC as my only suspension mods And im getting Drag radials soon !

BTw: looking into those strange shocks

what brand shocks? hals or something like it?

i'd do the shocks with an A4 car like you have. stock tq amr will get you by all day long on a drag radial no problem, the shocks will help alot more

if your only suspension mods are sfc and v6 springs, i would also consider looking into some lca's and relocation brackets

im gettinga set of used boxed lca's but im stock ride height so i dunno if those relocation brackets will makea big difference. maybe if i can find em used. My mechanic said get the T/A since it has a drivesaft safety look and i dont have one.

12.1 should be no problem, my best on a stock cam with crappy tires was a 12.2 so i wouldnt sweat it.
