suspension ok so i'm trying to put my power to the ground and am having difficulties. i plan on changing the gears to 3.73s first off.but, i heard you start breaking stuff... so my question is what kinda of suspension stuff should i start with? lowering springs, sway bar, tracion or ladder bars, sub connectors, what is the best combination? oh and if someone could tell me what rpm they run in a lt1 A4 with 3.73s at 70... and maybe gas mileage... not the reason for an F-body car i no but curious since its my DD. thanks in advance!

Bilstein or KYB adj shocks
Front and rear sway bars (I went w/ Spohn)
Torque Arm
Panhard bar
Control arms
My car sits right about 2600-2800 rpm @ 70-75 with the 3.73's. I didn't notice any loss in fuel economy. They kick *** you won't be disappointed. I would invest in some nice DR's to drive on with them gears

The BF's won't be the best for the track but around town they should do the job
