what do yall think of this suspension set up
well i will be having my heads/cams installed when they finally arrive at my house. i am also having my vortech v1 s trim installed at the same time. so now i am focusing on my suspension. this is what i plan on going with. lakewood 90/10 struts, lakewood 50/50 shocks, J & M upper/lower control arms, J & M full length subframe connectors, and eibach drag launch springs. as you can tell i am more focused on going fast in a straight line. anyone have any ideas on what else i should do?

I would purchase different struts and shocks.The Tokico D spec
struts and shocks would be a excellent choice for what you are using
them for.Also I would purchase Steeda aluminum upper and lower control
arms and Steeda subframe connectors instead.Great choice going with the Eibach
drag launch springs!

You are suggesting the above set up for drag racing and as far as springs? Hmmm, not really what comes to mind...you are paying way too much when there are more, less expensive and just as effective set ups. But what the hell do I know?

But he doesn't have anything. He is a non-threat. Not only is he a doesn't have, but also never has and probably never will....Sorry, too many pain pills tonight
It's all good, I am in the debating kind of mood.

if you drive it on the street a bit i'd say get the lakewood shocks/struts. but if it's more a weekend only/track car get strange, not much more, they're adjustable, but they are rather noisy. for c/a's i would forget j & m and steeda and just go right to either teamz or baseline. both excellent in the striaght line area and both are adjustable. also to save money dont get the eibach springs, get fox 4cyl springs up front and fox v8 springs in the rear. they'll lower the car a little and still give excellent weight transfer. as good as the drag springs but for about 1/4 the price.

Rice.... link to the UCA's?
If they are solid/poly DO NOT GET THEM.... go for a set of adjustable TeamZ, Baselines or something with a spherical end. If they look like ***THESE*** here:
They are a bad deal at ANY price!
