This hardly qualifies as a question .

Search the words "Koni" and "Strano" and see where that gets you .

Big difference ... I assumed you wanted handling .

Scratch "Koni" and "Strano", and instead look at any one of Spohn, BMR, UMI, and perhaps QA1's. They provide all the go-fast (in a straight line) goodies that you should require.

Hello, we have a complete line of parts that will increase your cars performance. A good starting point is the rear of the car. You will need a set of lower control arms and relocation brackets. We offer several different styles of lower control arms, from billet with urethane bushings to fully adjustable chrome moly with rod ends. What you chose will depend on what you are expecting out of your car. The relocation brackets allow you to tune your cars instant center which will help in your 60' times. Next a torque arm will be needed. We also have different style of these as well. From a full length adjustable to our extreme version both are designed to withstand punishment at the track or daily street use. The full length version is available in mig welded 1.25"x .120" dom steel or a 1.25"x .095" 4130 chrome moly version is available for the extreme version. If you decide to lower the car we also have 1" lowering springs. You will also need an adjustable panhard rod to get the body positioning corrected. There are dom steel and a chrome moly version available as well. If you go with the full length torque arm i would also suggest a relocation bracket for the torque arm. Our bracket takes the torque arm off of the transmission eliminating the chance of transmission tailshaft breakage. We also offer boxed and tubular frame connectors, both are weld in units. For the front of the car our tubular k members are made from 1 5/8"x .120 and 1 1/4" x.095 wall dom steel. We have our standard version and also a turbo version for added clearance. Both are available for use with your factory power steering rack or for use with our manual rack version conversion. Our k members are 24lbs lighter than a stock k member and when combined with our tubular a arms you can expect a 35lb weight savings. We also have a complete line of sway bars, drive shaft safety loop, battery relocation as well as complete rear end and drive shafts. We also are a distributor for QA1 and Strange shocks.Take a look at our site and if you have any question please give me a call. Our tech dept is available mon-fri 8:30am-6:00pm est.
