I am about to get the car back from a long awaited transformation. the suspension is stock. the car has 115k miles on it. what should I do? I want the car to be a street/strip car. let me know
thanks

Make sure u got a good set tires i.e. DR's... and if u have a big motor SFC would be great also.

 

are bolt on SFC's better than weld on?

 

Some people say the dont liek the idea of bolt in, and like the strength of welds. But the car is held together by bolts and havent heard one case of bolts coming lose, just ure locktite. The bolt in just makes it easier to install. I just bought a set of UMI 3 point bolt in's this morning. They have great service and very good reputation. I also ordered their tunnel mount torque arm for more of the line traction. I have a set of 16" ET Streets im going to use.

 

I do have a good set of DR's but I dont want to kill the rearend just yet. thanks for the input. what else could I do to improve the handling?

 

If u do a search of thr forms ull find all kinds or write ups. but A pan hard bar, and rear lower contorl arms will help keep the rear-end under control. UMI alos sells a nice set with double adjustable rod-ends. And a set of lowering springs nad a set of koni shocks will help handling the best. Also a 35mm front sway bar and th e LE1 21 mm rear will keep the car from rolling. Like i said if u search ull find some good wtite ups on what each does and why u need it and what works best. Also for reference to the rear. My buddy has a 99 WS6 buiild 383 and PSC1 Blower on a 8rib setup, he doesnt have dyno numbers but he was runnin 26 10.5 on a 16 rim ET Streets pullin the wheels bout 3 inches on the stock rear with 3.23 gears. he ran best a 10.90 @123mph. didnt lose the rear
