Default 400HP daily driver

I am building for a 400HP daily driver. I am never trying to get to the 10 sec club or anything too drastic. Basically I want a good, solid, fast, nice handling daily driver with a couple trips a year to track. What suspension/ handling mods are best for my goals and in what order should I buy them? Please build my car piece by piece for me. On top of performance mods I already have I will be going with tr224 cam, SSF3500 TC, and Nitto555r's. Thanks for all replies.

Do you want the suspension to work best on the drag strip, or on a road course? They are two different things.

Since it will be a daily driver, I will lean towards road racing/driving. I will only race on strip, not on streets against ricers, but still get on it on streets. Suspension best suited for daily driver with high street performance.

Call Sam Strano and he will set you up with what you need. Do a search for him in this forum; all of his posts have his phone #. He will sell you just what you need and none of the BS. He will probably recomend you start out with some good shocks first, but there are a lot of factors depending on what you want to do with the car in the end.
