stock springs in the rear with 4 banger springs in the front. uppers arent adjustable but i have southside style lowers that allow for some adjustability. i run no sway bar in the front, in the rear i run the stock sway bar plus an anti roll bar

Kinda the same thing I was thinking......hmm, might be looking into getting some drag springs.

if you want to drag then hell yea. drag springs are the shizzzz.tons of weight x-fer with all that stored energy.

hows your traction now as you are? you tryin for a street car or a drag machine?
