Default Best suspension for street/drag.

What is the best way to go? I want my car to have a good stance like this guy's Mustang. Well just a little higher in the back about 1/2in. But be able to hook at the drag strip.

I was looking into the Street & Strip Box from Maximum Motorsports would this be a good stance/set up?

A cheap and effective way to go is stock GT springs with 93 GT shocks in the rear and 4 cyl Fox body springs in the front with Strange 10 way adjustable struts.

I have this set up on my car minus the Fox body front springs. I also have Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs for a more agressive lowered look.

Well you can go with a full drag suspension but you will sacrifice good driving manners on the street. The set up I listed is a good all around kinda deal. Just because something costs more doesn't neccessarily mean it's better.

Yeah, like your vette. It's all bells and whistles.... Get a real car loser. And do control arms give you a better stance? Or can you even tell you have them once installed?

The Vette is SLOOOOW When I put my upper/lower CA's on, I didn't notice a difference in stance.
