so there are no drag shocks to buy besides hals? or is it just that hals are the best for drag racing? i dont care too much about having adjustable shocks, if i can just get some shocks already setup for drag racing that would be nice. my friend got some tokiko shocks, are those good enough? i know i need shocks bad, my rears seem dead with 75k miles on them :/

You also have strange and afco that make good drag shocks for our cars, it's just the hals are the most used b/c of their price and they're a pretty good performing shock.
ok i have like all this crap i need to buy now, and not a lot of money to just buy everything at once. i can buy like one thing every other paycheck so like one thing a month. what does everyone think i need first as a must? i have:
lca's
subframes
stb
ds loop
stage 3f clutch
9" rear
i need:
driveshaft ~$350
tq arm ~$450
tires/rims ~$350-1000 (drag radial on stock rims or slicks and skinnys)
sway bar ~$180
Rear shocks ~$80
front shocks ~$250-360
panhard ~$180
timing tuner/n20 controller ~$200-250
???
basically want to know what will i need the most or what will break right away. im worried about the drive shaft and tq arm but i dont know which one i need first or if i need to get something else more importantly. so basically with a tuned cammed 150shot m6 with a stage 3f clutch, sticky tire, 9" moser with 4.11s, stock ds, stock tq arm, stock suspension with lcas and subframes, whats gonna break/ what do i need the most to get down the track launching with a 4k+ drop??? now i dont have the 9" yet, should be sometime this month maybe next month, i might need a new ds anyway? i know with an adapter i can run a stock ds but is that doable? thanks for all the help.
i ran 11.63 on a 150 shot at 122.8 with a 7.70 1/8th.. i normally ran 7.40 1/8ths back when i had lid cutout 150 shot and lca's...
now ive added a fairly big cam, dropped some wieght, and a lot of other boltons.. hoping for mid 10's

As for which will hold out longer, i'd say to get the driveshaft first, then get the t/a. Then you can get the slicks and skinnies that you now have the strength to handle. Like I said, look on here and you can usually find really good deals on a lot of stuff!
