Default rear suspension

What is everything I need to make a low 11 second car hook and do well at the track? Is there any packages?

Thumbs up A few suggestions for you!

Hello
What I would suggest is looking into our single adjustable control arm and pan hard bar. This combo gives you the comforts of a poly bushing on the chassis side and a rod end on the rear end. This combo will hold up better than a poly/poly set-up. And another recommendation would be a set of Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets and an Adjustable Torque Arm either a Tunnel Mounted version or stock length. Below are a few links to show you what we have to offer!

For a drag setup you need to transfer weight too, not only have rear suspension setup.

Start thinking of front too....make it lighter and with the right shocks it will transfer the weight to the rear.

Without transferring weight the rear will never have enough grip.

I dont know of packages but here's the obvious.

Slicks
TQ Arm
LCAs
stiff rear sway bar
bullet proff rear end
Soft rear Springs
Shocks that match the spring rates

That should get you going, probably lift the fronts a little!

Hello
Also a set of QA1's would work really good for you! With the weight distribution! If you are going to use a aftermarket rear I would recommend a stock spring to eliminate any clearance issues. Below is a link to show you what we have to offer as far as shock, springs, coil over set-up!
