Get a baseline first. I have seen stock M6s run high 12's. Only mods were Drag radials.

Springs and PHB ordered, thank you Kyle and Allan.

I was able to find Bilstein shocks and struts through one of my work suppliers and they showed up today as well, off to a good start.

You can see the list of mods in my signature, and with that said, the BEST mods I ever did to the car were the MGW shifter, Monster Stage 3 clutch with Tick hydraulics, and the Viking coilover shocks.

I thought long and hard about coilovers VS lowering springs and good shocks, but it all boils down to cost, keep in mind i have to deal with exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, and also what i can get through my local suppliers through work vs what i have to pay for out of pocket so the lowering springs won that battle. I did some searching on the MGW and Pro 5.0 shifter and didn really find much wrong with either, there lots of fan boys for each but both seem to do there job well, so that boiled down to aesthetics and the reuse of my crome hurst short stick, so the 5.0 is gonna win this round.

At the end of the day im building a fun performance car, they may see some strip duty but will never be a dedicated drag car.

Don't forget the LCA relocation brackets if your gonna lower, to plant the power. Other than that your limited mod list should be easy mid-lower 12's.

Coilovers are cool if you want to play with the height of your car, but I'm guessing you'll be more than happy with the performance and the stance from the BMR springs.
