Get some Megabite Jrs...worked wonders for my suspension, i had all but given up hope having any traction whats so ever in 1st and 2nd. But now, no spinny anymore.


A set of mickey Thompson slicks helps to by the way. lol

what hole did you use on the rear mount for the MB jr's, the upper or lower? just curious

i too would go with a higher stall. subframes, upper and lower control arms, adjustable shocks in rear, adjustable struts in front and a good set of drag springs at all 4 corners

nitto drag radials if your gonna go radial, good set of after market upper and lower control arms, drive shaft loop, subframe connectors and battleboxes and i could keep going, but thats the basics also be sure the upper control arms have enough reinforcement in the floor pans so your tunnel doesnt crack like mine did.

If you want to be able to launch the **** out of your car and not have grief about it your going to need something like this....

i mean to really get into it, some arnt 'Mandatory' like the K member, but its nice to have.

-Lakewood 90/10 shocks up front and 50/50 in the rear.
-4cylinder springs up front, stock V-8 springs in the rear with a air bag in the passenger side rear.
-Mega bite's or mega bite jr's set on the highest traction settings.
-Any upper control arms, adjustable preferred.
-Maximum Motorsports Subframe connectors
-Maximum Motorsports tubular K or a comparable tubular k to lighten front end.
-Battery to trunk conversion
-Mickey Thompson E/T slicks
-Torque box re-enforcements (Launching will rip them after a while if they arnt re-enforced)

And once that front end rises at the track, your going to have to speed shift your *** off to make sure it doesnt drop any and un-load the rear suspension. But that should get you to about where you want to be. A good set of slicks and control arms should get you on your way, but the rest is going to make a real difference.
