Default Best Traction Solution

Ok first off I am very fimiliar with Mustang's in general. But I want to go with something that has been proven to work. I tell you what I was thinking and then you guys can throw in your suggestions.

GEAR: 3.73
AXELS:MOSER
WHEELS:10.5
TIRES FOR STREET/STRIPRAG RADIALS, MAYBE M&H OR NITTO OR MICKEY THOMPSON
SPRINGS:H&R OR EIBACH
UPPER+LOWER CONTROL ARMS: STEEDA OR M&M
ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL:SPEC
LIMITED SLIP DIFF OR LOCKER:MOSER

Am I missing anything? My stock suspension is killing my 60ft times. What do you guys suggest? My main mods are listed below. This is my d&d btw. I dont want anything over the top, I save that for my drag car.

if you are looking for drag racing I wouldn't go with either spring unless you are looking at the drag launch springs. Double adjustable uppers would help, welded tq boxes and axle tubes as well!!

For springs, you could do Fox 4 cylinder springs up front and leave the stock rear springs in. You can also remove or disconnect your front sway bar on track nights.

go look for QA1 they make a hell of a set up for the street/strip, and in my opinion u should have aset of slicks for the track cuz seriously nothing launches like slicks except slicks.

I have heard alot of good things about Mega Bite Jr lower Control arms. What kind of bushings are you thinking of? Nittos suck at the track. MT ET street are a nice choice.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I am going to go with a good set of lowers with spherical bearings, Yukon 31 splines and LSD, and MT slickson a set of welds. What can fit under stock fenders...15x10, I would guess would be best. Do you guys think with this setup I will be able to launch hard and stick to the track, without anything more.

It will hit hard. Should be a great set up. Make sure you get the axle tubes welded.
