Default What should i do next, suspension-wise?

Hey Guys,

I've done a few suspension upgrades this year.
BMR LCA's non-adjustable (with relocationbracket)
BMR A-Arms
BMR UCA (adjustable)
BMR K-member

My car is mainly a street/drag car.
I want to lower the car and do some other suspension work.
What would you suggest? Please also recommend a brand
as well as something that would work with my current mods.

What is your budget ... we have a lot of items that can get you to your goal ... just need to know how much we are playing with ... along with install costs.

Also, we have several drag racers here at the shop, they can speak to you about your set-up & what they recommend.

Best Regards,

TJ

Yes forgot to mention the budget, 1500-1700 shipped.
I want my car to sit decently low, but nothing too extreme or stancenation like.
Also for some reason i don't want to mess with the camber adjustments.

Let me talk it over with Scott, our resident drag racer & get his recommendation. I will shoot you a note when I find out more.

Best Regards,

TJ

My car sits like this and I ran 10.89 @ 128. I can make your suspension work, while still sitting low.

Is that the 14" pro plus rear brake kit from baer? If so how do you like it? Is it too much brake for the rear compared to the front?

It is, and somehow they sized the pistons proportionately so that the rears don't lock up before the fronts.

I'll say this, you need SERIOUS rubber (think R-compound) to use the full capability of these brakes, otherwise standing on the brakes just throws the system into ABS. But I bet these brakes will put you through the windshield on a set of Toyo R888s!
