Default Complete Suspention Shopping list ?

Hi there, I'm new to the RWD car stuff and am kind of at a loss on what to buy for my 97 Firebird. The car is going to be used mostly for drag racing.

I'm not really worried about lowering the car much, just helping it to hook up.

I know I'll be getting the HAL Shocks and springs.

I'd like to stick with BMR stuff, have used it on my other cars and have never been let down.

Should I get the BMR Trak Pak ?

Panhard Rod ?

Rear Control Arms ?

the trak pak would be louder then a tranny mounted torque arm but if its a track only car its ok.

dont waste your money on a non adjustable PHB get adjustable.

tubular rear control arms would be fine. and it woudlnt hurt to get adjustable either

and id invest in a DS saftey loop just in case.

drag radials help too

Noise is not an issue

Tires are covered. M&H Racemasters, and Hoosier QTP's.


Yes I'll have to add a saftey loop to the list ! Thanks.
