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.

Guys have run in the 10s and 11s on stock springs/shocks. I still have the stockers and Im running 11.7s. When I do change them I plan on adjustable QA1s.

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

How many miles are on the car? And do you have any suspension work yet?

shorty(98TA)

72K miles and everything seems to be bone stock outside of the dual straight pipes and the kid i bought it from said it has a shift kit in it

Depends on budget. Strange shocks are a great buy. And if you have the coin Afco shocks.

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.
