Default suspension kits

Does anyone make a suspension kit that is targeted for hooking up only. Also what should I buy to get a mild modded ride to hook up. 05 gto auto. Thanks can street ets be used on the street or is that just a name? I would like to lower ets a little but don't want to have to swap wheels back and forth

Drag bags for the rear, yes you "can" run et streets on the street, but they will wear very quick, and I wouldn't want to run them if the roads are wet....lol big difference between street legal drag tires and street tires . I would put mine on the night before, then drive them to the track, race, drive home, then swap my street tires back on. I know a lot of people though that run drag radials all the time, but they still wear quicker than a street tire

drag bags are a quick and cheap fix but i would just do pedders back half or the whole suspension kit the pedders drag 2 kit is around 2k for everything that you need and yes you can run et street on the street but like said before the soft compound of these tires wear quickly so i wouldnt run all the time unless you like spending 400 for two tires alot

They are a 2way (or 1way) adjustable shock and let you dial it in.
By your posts Im assuming yours is pretty much stock, and a drag radial with an auto will work perfect for you. No need to spend the $900 on the QA1's

Yes my car is pretty much stock. I just got a job where i can afford to pay for it an do aftermarket stuff. I just bought Lontubes with catless mids and it already had and x pipe with cat back exhaust. I'm just worried about rotating the tires.

Just get
-new struts, bushings, and springs (if you want a different height) for the front.
-springs and shocks for the rears.

Unless you're trying to accomplish or set you car up for something specific
