Default ok getting suspension stuff

I should be getting hals on all 4 corners. I was thinking next was Hotchkis sway bars. I have a panhard bar already and a torque arm. What would you get after the hals. Also I dont want to lower the car any.

Thanks

You setting it up for the straight line right?

Do you have LCA's yet? Also if for drag racing I'd go BMR extreme rear anti-roll bar for semi street or for the more serious either the Billingsley racing or Wolfe bar should do you good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'd also see if you could get the 1LE rear springs. If they aren't the same as stock they can't be that much lower.

You would greatly benefit from the use of a strut tower brace!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

For AXing, contact Sam Strano at www.stranoparts.com

For road course work, contact Lou Gigliotti at www.lgmotorsports.com

Either of these guys will help you get your car to the level you want.

And you are correct. Drag racing breaks 10x the parts AXing/RRing does.

The only thing I've torn up in doing AX/RR over the past 2 years is brakes. Cheap, easy repairs.

got brakes? Like the upcoming LG upgrade maybe. A good set of sticky tars will help more than any suspension mod.
