Thinking Last Here is my supsension setup as of today:
Windy River stainless steel steering knuckle
Custom Chromemoly powder coated K-Frame
BMR Strut tower brace
BMR Boxed SFC’s
BMR Chromemoly tubular extreme duty crossmember
BMR Chromemoly tubular extreme duty torque arm
BMR Chromemoly tubular extreme duty panhard rod
BMR Tubular adjustable LCA’s
1LE springs
OEM Forged Z06 Titanium rims 17X9 front 18X10.5 rear
Upgraded to Z06 4 piston Calipers front and rear and Z06 braking system
Zinc washed KVR slotted rotors all 4 corners 13" Front/11.9" Rear
I am buying a set of Bogarts to swap out on the rear. I am also looking into some QA1 Hals for shocks. My goal is a NASTY street car. It is a turbo car. And I hope to be puting out 750rwhp on 12psi and pump. I put down 677rwhp on fuel cutout at 5k rpms(twin 340s weren't enough pump). System is being redone. I want the best street/drag suspension setup. What springs should I go with? What final suspension parts should I get? Should I get a Driveshaft loop? I have to hook this power up. A nice set of Mickey Thompson ET streets will be on the bogarts. I have a Moser 12 bolt to handle it all!

Koni's probably won't be necessary if going with a drag setup. You will want to get a set of shocks that is more geared toward drag racing from what it seems like you are going for.

It is a daily driven street car, But it should be putting down 750-800rwhp on pump gas after I get this fuel problem sorted out! It will primarily be street raced and such.
