Default Best suspesion combination for 500rwh???

I have a 2002 ws6 with (ATI Procharger DISC ,heads, cam, slp longtubes, hooker catback, ram clutch, and MOSER 9 inch rear end). My suspension is bone stock!! My car is my daily driver, but I will drag race with some ET slicks from time to time. On the streets I run Nitto Drag Radials 275 40 17. I just need some advice or suggestions of a good, reliable suspension parts which will give me much better traction and maintain drivability. I dont plan on lowering my car.
I was thinking...Torq arm , rear lower control arms, panhard bar, .......ect... Best brands????What to get????????????

Thank You!!!

well if you plan on taking it to the track at all.. Hals 12 way adjustable shocks would probabaly make a big difference for you.. you can adjust them for daily driving or the track.. I have heard they give great weight transfer and will definately help keep the rear wheels down.. they run anywhere from 600-700$ for a complete kit i think.. Control arms help too.. panhard bars are more for side to side swaying.. and doesn't effect traction as much as lower control arms.. And if you don't want to spend alot on a torque arm.. try putting a poly bushing in it.. Let me know what you go with! hope i could help

I'll look into the Hals. So adjustable shocks,lower control arms, and a torque arm are the most important suspension parts for traction. Are Hals are the best adjustable shocks? What are the best lower control arms and torque arm? I only want to buy once. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i hear great stuff about Hal's and a lot of people run them in high RWHP set ups.. for control arms and torque arms just look through our sponsors such as BMR or other places like spohn.. don't always be fooled by "chrome moly" parts either.. they are lighter but not always worth the money.. the torque arm might be better in chrome moly but the LCA's aren't worth it.. just make sure they have poly bushings and try getting relocation brackets for them.. hope i could help

Yes, I'm definately getting subframe connectors. Should I get adjustable lower control arms? Will a Spohn torque arm make my SLP Y-pipe bang?

don't get adjustable LCA's.. i have heard of them breaking... and they really are pointless.. don't let big words and adjustable parts trick ya.. Some places make Torque arms that are made to work with off road Y-pipes and stuff and aftermarket exhaust.. it should say it on their sites.. i've seen it before.. let me know
