Your car a stick or auto? I'll tell ya this, you don't want 90/10's with lift bars on the back and a 5-speed.

Id go with some 4 banger springs in the front, 90/10 struts in front. 50/50s in the rear. Mega Bite Jr or seniors or MM lower control arms. Griggs has some nice **** man, but exspect to pay for it. Then get a good set of Mickey Thompson e/t's and let the pressure to like 18psi lol. Heat those bastards up real nice and launch the **** out of it. I bet you come damn close or even pull the left front about 1 inch if you pull lots of weight.
