Default Is This A Decent Setup?

My SS currently has the stock suspension and I plan on upgrading it for occasional drag strip use. It will be daily driven and see track time every other weekend.

I have looked around trying to find the best setup. I will be running the stock suspension and getting a BMR Adj. Torque Arm, Relocation Brackets, and Subframe Connectors.

Would this be a good setup for occasional track use? Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Looks like a nice list of parts.....

If you like give me a call here at the office and I can make sure you are getting what you need for your particular application.

Money is tight so no need in wasting any on parts you might not need
