just wondering what you all suggest i do for my next money spending extravaganza. I have a 99 t/a, automatic, 343 gears, and aprox 400hp (currently no stall, 3200ish in mind). The car might see the track a few times but not much, all i know for sure is that drag radials are a must and sub frame connectors. I know it cant be that easy, power is **** if i cant get it to the ground. im in college so that should tell you my budget, but all price ranges are welcome, i can save longer if i have to.

shocks? i have heard good things about the koni shocks... are they that good? is the ride that much better or would any after market do me good? (car is not lowered, yet)

Konis are handling shocks, but can be adjusted for more of a "drag friendly" setting. Konis on otherwise stock suspension will dramatically improve ride quality (think German sports sedan). But a drag setup will not give you good ride quality, and lowering will hurt your ride quality (also will hurt your launch).
It seems you have conflicting interests and you will have to make sacrifices somewhere. A lowered car is not good for dragracing, and drag suspension is not good for ride quality.

what i would do for bare minimum cost:

lower control arms $100
poly torque arm bushing $15

those 2 things solidified my car up when launching quite a bit.

12 bolt or a moser 9 inch, also would start saving money for a built tranny.

I'm not really sure SFC are a must. I personally have them, and they stiffened up the car a bit, in a good way. Some swear they are good to have and some don't think they are needed, just do a search, i'm sure it's been beating to death already.

I wasn't sure which stall to get and i got the SS3600, i suggest you do the same. Most people say the tq arm is the best way to get power to the ground, then LCA relocation brackets and new LCAS.

If you swap out your shocks, most go with some kind of Koni, a few use kyb agx's. However, i've heard they don't have a warranty and the company doesn't really stand behind their shock, this is just what i've read, however they are half the price of koni, better than stock, but not as good as a koni (ride quality)

Can't really help you more than that, but if you search, you will find everything you need

X 2 and DR's, I did all of these mods at the same time and the car felt completely different. The car feels solid and has absolutely no wheel hop and I have an m6, everyone with an m6 knows how horrible the wheel hop is with the stock parts. Like you said power is no good if you can’t get it to the ground.
