Sticky tires....

I usually start with LCA's and panhard rod. That or an adjustable torque arm would be my vote.

find some used LCA's for cheap on here and look into some good tires. You can start from there and keep adding more stuff like a Torque Arm, SubFrame Connectors etc.

Well I think it's a three way tie between, a torque arm, LCA's and brackets and SFC's as far as importance. Each one does something a little different and when they combine they work wonders for hooking. Obviously you'll need sticky tires too but they alone won't do it.

if you dont want to twist your car you need subfames before you get sticky tires.

I agree that SFC are very important even on a stock ls1 car. Would be one of my first mods.

Hello
I noticed that you are asking about what will help you hook up at the track! There is a lot of different routes you can go. But the best bang for the buck is a set of Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets and Sub Frame Connectors. Do you have anything done to the suspension already??????If so what? Leave me know and I will be able to better assist you.
Thanks
