I'm leaving my suspension stock to get my times on the track before i change it. I know guys will swap out the shocks usually in the rear, but the stock setup isn't too bad for weight transfer and drag racing. The springs are fine, shocks just blow.

the stock ones on it feel pretty soft and it seems to get a ton of axle wrap when you put ur foot in it. so i just figured id start my wish list of mods with some suspension upgrades

We're an AFCO dealer. Give me a call for pricing and availability. The AFCOs are great shocks that do well on the street, but they're EXCELLENT for the strip. We also sell the Strange shocks, if your budget doesn't allow the extra change for the AFCOs. My number at the shop is 225-673-3533.
