Default Suspension mods?

I am currently sitting on h&r lowering springs and I like my ride height. My question is what should my next suspension mods be to shave some time off of my 1/4 et? I know tires will gain me the most traction but what other mods should I be looking at?

You could definitely get some LCA's to keep the power on the ground and give you more forward movement.

PM if you have any questions or if you wish to place an order.

Best Regards,

Yup, aftermarket LCA are the next component to upgrade.
FLSFC should be a high priority as well.
Although they are not good for handling, MEGA BITE JR LCA will give you a noticeable improvement in planting the rear tires under acceleration. I had a set on my car before I installed all of my suspension components. THEY WORKED!

TIRES will do far more for your times at the track than all the suspension mods on the planet. Tires before any other mods if track performance is the goal.

Tires
Control arms
subframe connectors
Shocks/struts
K-member kit
cc-plates

basically in that order^^.

We carry all of these at UPR Products and we know what it takes to make your car hook. We've won literally dozens of championships on the dragstrip, and our suspension works great on the street as well. Also, we offer MF.com members a 10% discount on every part we manufacture.

The most overlooked mod that doesn't necessarily improve traciton, but definatly prevents costly repairs when it comes to making a stick 1/4 miles streeter is, GETTING the factory torque boxes welded or supported.

It's true! We carry the torque box plates, which can be bolted in, but we also recommend seam-welding the factory plates AND welding our plates in, if possible.
