Ok, I finally have enough power to satisfy me for the moment so Im going to focus on getting my car to launch correctly now. I am completely cluless when it comes to drag racing suspension. My suspension is completely stock except for bmr subframe connectors and a BMR non adjustable trans mounted TA.(I will eventually get a non trans mounted adjustable TA but its not 1st on my list)

What suspension mods should be done 1st?

Which will show the biggest improvement?

Which are the cheapest/easiest?

I rarely drive this car anywhere but to the track, but do take it out for a cruise once in a while, and it is my backup car if my commuter car and bike both break

Im running ET streets (bias ply) right now and may be going with the ET radials next. I was thinking springs might be the first thing to tackle suspension-wise also. Ive seen my car on video and it really squats on the launch and the 1-2 shift. Back to the me being clueless thing, what are the correct rate springs for me, or how do I determine that?

cruise the sponsor sites. QA1 make shocks and springs specific to the F-body at 2 or 3 different rates and applications.

You have QA1s and stock springs? Ive been checking them out and I always see them selling springs for the QA1s. Are they still coilovers? Or are there different QA1s that do not require the springs? Can I get the shocks 1st and the springs later? I'm not clear on these shocks.

I do have a 12-bolt with 3.73s. What are you trapping and what RPM are you crossing the finish line on a 26 inch tire with the 4.11s?

Also I thought the relocation brackets were for lowered cars. I guess this is not the case?
