Default budget shock and spring combo

Would competition engineering shocks and struts and an eibach drag launch kit be ok to go with for a budget build or would I be cutting my own throat? It won't be an all out race car mostly street/strip but will stilldrive itaround town. Thanks in advance

Keep the stock rear springs - they work fine for the street and are also good at the track (I run the stockers).

A friend of mine runs the Bilstein shocks on all four corners and he loves them.

I switched to used WS6 springs for a little lower height and have KYB AGX (although I'm sure **** will come up about them on this board).

I love em, fantastic difference over my 70,000 stockers and I only got em for $100 for the pair. Just need to do rears.

I currently run the Eibach Drag Launch Springs with the drag bag and ive noticed a huge difference in weight transfer over my pro kit (also rides a lot smoother). The comp eng shock in the rear is something im looking to do soon too.

As far as the springs go does the rears have isolators on them? If so I'd like to get some poly ones to replace them. Also do lca relocation brackets help or would that be better spent somewhere else
