LCA, TA, Depending on how much chassis flex you have SFC might be worth it. Strano sway bars and lowering springs and Koni 4/4 shocks. that should cover most of it

Some of this stuff goes a little further than suspension, but its related.

- Strano Springs
- Strano 35/22mm Sway Bars
- Koni Sport Shocks (4/3 or 4/4 depending on several factors)
- Adj. Panhard Bar (UMI or BMR for all the rest of this chassis/suspension)
- LCA Relocation Brackets
- Strut Brace
- Torque Arm
- Performance LSD
- Lightweight 17" Wheels
- Sticky Tires

SFCs maybe, but that seems debatable depending on who you talk to.

You're just going to get random answers from some people on here. The question is, which ones actually know what they are talking about and which ones don't?

No question, the weakest link in the suspension is stock shocks. The rest of the suspension is actually not too bad if you are just a street car. Start with the shocks.

I doubt you're going to get much chassis flex on a street car with stock suspension. For a strip car that has slicks that puts big power down, then I'd be more worried about flex.
