if money is an issue then i would say trans mount and torque arm mount should be good for the money. prolly $50 for both and if u lower i would say relocation brackets for another $70 and then shocks for sure. bilstein HD's $300. good setup for the $$$

Hello, ok. well i was looking into some shocks (QA1's but im not so sure since they are almost strictly a drag shock) I want something adjustable to put the power to the ground no prob and also be very streetable. I was also looking at LCA's a torque arm and HPB. Any suggestions on brand or type for all of these? Thanks

If your into drag racing, the Hals will do you good. If you want handling, go for some sort of Bilstein at a minimum. Koni DAs will sorta work for both venues {I say sorta because the rebound on a Koni even when set to it's minimum is still not light by any means}. For LCAs, I recommend LG Motorsports rod ended versions. Dunno on the TA.

If your talking drag racing then a set of drag radials.
