Default How does this setup sound?

BMR 1" Lowering Springs
BMR Boxed LCA's (Rear)
Spohn swaybar set
Spohn adj. Torque Arm (w/ Driveshaft loop)

I don't know much about this stuff, I am having Premier Autosports do my work. Mike Alsop (winner of bullrun) is the manager there, so he knows his TAs.

I am also getting Pacesetters LTs put on with this round of parts.

I would appreciate any input!

What are you looking for? Better launch, handling, ride? Be specific.

I guess being specific on what I want would help you help out.

I think it will look more aggressive with a little drop, and hook up better.

Probably just a trip here and there to the drag, mostly just a weekend driver, and want to help preserve the 4l60 and 10bolt. I've read that preventing wheel hop will help that a lot... of course hooking up with a lot of power will break your stuff as well.

My next round of mods will most likely include building the 4l60 or putting a shift kit in, and a 3300 range stall.

I'm still looking to keep a decent street ride, but allow the car to be more aggressive.

Hello - shocks. Konis are best and you'll see no sacrifices, only benefits. Shocks first, sway bars second. Unless you drag race often, then shocks first and maybe TA second. Depends on what you're experiencing/trying to fix.
