Strange 10 Way Adj. Shocks & Struts
Hotchkis C/C Plates
FRPP Front/Rear Lowering Springs
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2DCSUM200 05&N=700+0&autoview=sku
Now, your struts, shocks, springs and cc plates are done. Than get a set of full length subframes. Average another 60-100 dollars depending on brand. Lets say it was $100. Now your at $800. Get a set of lowr control arms from somewhere (MM, D&D, UPR, etc. are all good places... some cheaper than others. Than you have a good starting point. Most people usually stop there though and dont go too much further, maybe uppers and little things.

Damn, those are nice, I'm going to have to call them and see if you can substitute some things in the kit. But I've got a question about even the sport kit, would this be so stiff that it would hurt my drag racing times and ability? I mean I want it to handle great, but at the same time, I want to be able to have fun on the street and take it to the track a few times a year.

Look at Lesters thread (on this page) called Starting Suspension or something like that. I already posted in there about this kit.

For suspension I've got:
Summit Racing upper and lower rear control arms
FRPP "C" Springs
Strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts
Maximum Motorsports XL full length subframes (getting welded in this weekend)
It handles great! I can adjust it pretty much for anything that I want it to do especially with those shocks and struts. Don't forget to pick up a good set of tires also.

eibach makes a kit where it lowers, car with upgraded sway bars for like 350 i think (don't quote me) but some strange adjustables and some c/c plates and u will be set for handlings. and then get you some upper and lowers c/a's for the back and u will be able to launch as well

I would hope so I just making that statement becuase he wants an all around handling/performing car. I wasnt directing that towards one product.
