Default huge hp suspension upgrades.

What suspension upgrades would I need to do on a 98 cobra. I'm getting a supercharger for it at about 2weeks, and want to make traction. I'm sure it will be around 400+whp, because that is what numbers I have seens from the vortech. What should I get, and are there any brands that are better than others?

No they are not. Solid axle FTW.

Full length subframe connectors, Upper and lower control arms with at least poly bushings (best would be spherical), panhard bar, drag springs, and adjustable shocks/struts. Not to mention at least some nittos but preferrably MT ET streets or BFGs for tires.

+1 and I'd have the torque boxes fully welded, especially if you go with the spherical bushings.

+1, except maybe I would not go with full out drag springs.

Btw, 400 or so RWHP is not "huge numbers"

well, i should say anywhere from 400-500whp. I want the step above the regular s-trim S/C. Don't remember its exact name off the top of my head atm though.
