Well sub-frame connectors are a good start.

UPR and LWR Control Arms would be the best investment

would drag springs drop your car at all? also how much do you think the control arms would actually drop your 60 ft?

a buddies car has drag springs with airbag in the back( sits slightly lower than stock) .lower control arms, subframe connectors, and 90/10 drag shocks in the front...with drag radials the car hooks up pretty good ......the problem right now though is there is no 2nd gear so he can only try it in first.....will update once the 2nd gear gets repaired.........i think the biggest difference i noticed was the way the drag shocks in the front reacted to weight transfer.
