Default Looking @ droping my 60' times

Right now my set up is:
Spohn adj. torque arm (-2deg Pinion angle)
Spohn Lca's stock location.
spec 4 clutch
stock k-member/a-arms
stock shocks and springs
Fron sway bar connected

My best 60' is a 1.68 with an m6 I want to pull low 1.5's.
Here's what I'm thinking about changing:

Tubular K-member & a-arms (already have just need to install)
bmr trak pak torque arm
& lca reloctaion brackets

Will that get me there or should I change shocks/springs and add air bags.

Thanks

that sounds good. see how you hook with those mods before you try the airbags. the LCA RLB's sound good and put them in the lower spot. try some weight reduction and get some stiffer shocks out back. that may get you in the high 1.5's right there.

What about an anti-roll bar in the rear? I would think that some suspension pre load would be great in a stick car. Maybe someone else can chime in on this. I would also suggest putting the battery in the rear.

Take out the front sway bar and relocate the battery along with what you already have should put you there. BTW nice to see another mountaneer!
