Yea, Im not sure about what spring/shock to run in the rear but I think Im going to go with a strange 10 way in the front.... If I have to lean either way I would lean more towards a track suspension.
Get strange adjustable rears then. I'm running stock GT rears, but I'm more concerned with the track and nothing else.

ok... im not extreemly concerned w. the twisties, id rather have more of a straight line setup, for good launches, but not ***** out strip only suspension.... would just stiffer springs/shocks/w.e. help me? or what should i do? also, do i really need to do anything up front to launch better? or just rear stuff? thanks again guys..

Front=yes. No matter what you have in the rear, if you can;t tranfer some weight over the tires, it's got more left in it. The front is the simple part though. 70/30, 90/10, or adjustable struts and some tranfer springs such as the Moroso Tricks will make a big difference, trust me. Remove the front sway bar too. You want the rear springs as stiff as you can. That way more energy is directed to moving the car forward instead of down.

I was looking at going with a full UPR setup for the back. Upper and lowers CA's and the coil over kit with springs. I was wondering if anyone know how good there parts are?
