Default Suspension mods?

I was wondering if I should invest in any suspension mods. Something that will be good for performance and give me a better time at the track. I currently have LT headers with the matching Y-pipe and a Moroso CAI. The car ran an 8.4 in the 1/8 and I would like to improve that with better 60's. I had an 8.3 on one run, but I had to let off...Any ideas?

Also, please list the cost of these items and where I can get them. Thanks a lot.

I'll probably end up having a mechanic do the work though. (I like the warranty) Unless it's pretty easy...

Thanks for the help.

yeah man, i need to get a stable job so i can do suspension mods. they say it is a must for subframe connectors and panhard rod and k members and torque arms to put hp to the ground. tunder racing has it all, it is kinda expensive though. and i would probrobably just go to my machine shop too and let them get it for me.

K-members has nothing to do with putting power to the ground...that's up front under the motor. sub-frames are ok, they just stiffen the chassis up (good for high HP applications) panhard rod and lower control arms are where the traction is, along with an adjustable torque arm.
adj. panhard rod- 100
adj LCA- 120
adj. torque arm- 300
watch ebay, there are some companies that sell on there, usually pretty good quality stuff and the price is a little cheaper that companies such as BRM, Spohn, and other big names
