^^^^ nope

it's one or the other...you can improve both to a point though.......but extreme mods for 1 take from the other.

i'll assume you want to keep the 2"drop...thats fine, just want better handling and hook would be a bonus.

go w/ hpm megabite jr lower control arms, do the energy suspension poly kit, and hit all 4 corners w/ some cheap kyb's, not the expensive ones..the cheaper ones are fine, the car will handle like a vette, and will hoook plenty for decent 60' times like 1.65-1.69-ish launching it hard , typically 1.70-1.75 on medium launches

if you plan on a hardcore drag or turning car though....you need to pick which one

you'll want to upgrade your caster/camber plates... I strongly reccomend Maximum Motorsports... a bit more work on the install but they help you align the car so easy...

al I had done to my 97 GT was the eibach 2" drop, MM Camber plates and a fresh set of wheels/tires and she handled very tight for a RWD muscle car...
