Default Suspension Questions

Hey guys...

I'm thinking of the BMR rear sway bar, and BMR lower control arms. Any comments/suggestions?

How about the BMR panrod?

Are any of these products recommended? Is BMR recommended as a company? Is Hotchkis better?

My suspension is basically stock except for Hotchkis SFC's, and lowering springs. What should I do next?

Thanks!

What kind of driving do you do?

Street?
Strip
AX?
RR?

How you answer will sway the answer ...

It's #1 a street car, and my plans are to drag and road race. It's going to have heads/cam and possibly some sort of forced induction (talking to the local shop about a custom turbo setup).

However, I want it to tear it up at the drag races, and I want to be able to road race it.

Basically... 10 second full interior car that I can road race. It doesn't have to be the fastest on the road race track, but has to be good enough to be fun.

Thanks!!
