Default suspension suggestions?

I have a '98 TA with Heads, Cam, Stall, Longtubes, FAST 90/90, etc...

I currently have NO SUSPENSION mods! The car cannot hook for ****! I already have ET Streets on order. What would you guys suggest to get the car to hook like a mother?

In order of importance what are the first 5 suspension mods you would do besides tires?

Default

1) Sub-frame connectors - any is fine, bolt-in or weld
2) Rear LCA - double adjustables - BMR, Wolfe, Madman
3) QA1 12-adjustable shocks - front and rear
4) Good race TQ Arm - numerous ones out their BMR, Wolfe, MadMan
5) Rear sway bar - drag sway bar for more aggressive launch - BMR, MadMan, Wolfe
6) Re-location brackets - BMR
7) Adjustable PHR

I believe BMR has an entire package you can get. You get these and they'll set you up for a long time. Do it once with the best stuff available and you will not have to replace them for a very long time.

The cheapest BEST in my opinion


1 frame connectors

2 unhook front swaybar

3 airbag in right rear spring with 15 to 20 psi

these 3 things will do WONDERS!!

After that....bring the checkbook

That ain't no ****.

Spohn makes a nice bolt in drag bar, it can also be welded in. They also have a lot of suspension pieces too.

Search through Madman's posts. He recommended to me

1. SFC's
2. Torque Arm
3. Drag shocks outback (he's stated several times which ones he prefers and why)
4. Drag bar

...for starters
