how much of a difference do they really make?
kind of new to suspension but i know it makes a world of difference so i think i wana start making some changes while the cars in the garage for the winter. first thing i wana start with is the upper and lower control arms, are they really worth replacing? i know alot of people go with summit and theyre only 100$ or are other brands significantly better? then i was thinking maybe the strange shocks and struts 10way adjustables? k member and maybe coil overs? like i said guys im new to aftermarket suspenson and just learning about suspension in general so any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, thanks and sorry for such a long post

i bought the UPR u/l control arms and i like them. The car feels a lot more solid on launches, even on the street. But i still have regular BBk lowering springs back there, so there is a lot of room for improvement

Figure out what type of driving you'll be doing mostly and then start building a suspension from there. I like to Road Race and Auto-X so I set up my suspension for that type of driving(Doesn't hurt on the street either! Hehehe!)

i want it mostly to be for drag racing but i kind of still want it to have decent handling but my main goal is to get the best time possible at the strip so i figure i would start with suspension

thats a good place to start alot of time can be saved in the 60ft.
ofcourse some brands are better then others, however is it needed? thats a hard question to answer. my pov is i have summit uppers/lowers and im doing just fine with them
id start with that, strange's are great, had them before, loved them. and some springs if you can afford it too.
