Cool Poly rod suspension.
My 96 dumdumdumdumdum is my daily driver half of the year. If I go with a poly rod combo on all of my suspension pieces will that be to extreme for a daily driver? I mostly street race and probably only make it to the strip 6-8 times a year if im lucky. Any thoughts?

How many miles a year do you think you put on the car?

I had a poly/rod combo when my car was a daily driver. Honestly, after a week of driving it I couldn't tell the difference from stock.

just dont ever go rod/rod on a street driven DD. my LCA and LHR are rod/rod and in Cali where im at the roads sucks and it feels like my car is going to fall apart. i am going with the double poly set pretty soon and just put the rod/rod back on when its no longer a DD.
