Need Help!! Street strip setup for 4th gen SS I'm looking at lowering my car finally. I have never messed with any suspension stuff, so I am looking for opinions on which route I should go. It's a daily driver with heads/cam and stall. Going to the strip about once a month so I want it to be more on the drag style than anything else.... Anything helps thanks!!

While I'm not as suspension obsessed as many others in this section, I'll tell you what I went with as I, too, wanted more a street/strip setup than anything else.
SLP springs
SLP Bilstein shocks/struts
UMI Lower Control Arms (single adjustable)
UMI Panhard (single adjustable)
UMI Lower Control Arm Brackets (bolt in; using lowest hole)
UMI 2-point SFC's (bolt in)
UMI Strut Brace
With that set up, I am cutting consistent 1.9/2.0 60's with all season Uniroyals. I went with the SLP springs because, while I like the look of BMR & Strano springs, I needed something better for drag racing weight transfer. The SLP set up seemed to be best compromise (lowered my SS about an inch).
I hope to add a UMI tunnel mount adjustable torque arm and UMI relocation mount by the end of the season. Aside from that, I likely won't be doing anything else to the suspension.
