what do ya think of this suspension set up?
ok cars all stock right now... lets hear opinions on this set up idea i have....
subframe connectors
steeda adjustable upper control arms
steeda upper control arms, high horsepower, drag use.
eibach v8 drag launch series spring kit
50/50s in the back- maybe adjustables(worth it on the rear?)
strange adjustables up front
MT et streets
3.55s
stronger axles(still 28 spline, but stronger ones)
anything im missing? anything here that shouldnt be? car is a daily driver, but it sees the strip abut once a week, or maybe once every two weeks... is this to agressive for a streetcar that sees the track alot? o and also... w. all that, are quad shocks still nessacery? if so theyll be getting replaced, if not, ill fit me a wider rim and tire under there

90/10s are pretty agressive for a mostly street car. Go with the strange 10 ways for the front and back. If you're going with drag radials I'd get a separate set of wheels that way you don't use up those MT's. The drag springs will give the car a funny stance (higher in the front than the rear) I almost went with the eibach drag launches until I had seen some pictures. I opted for the FRPP C springs, I love the stance that it's got now, it's higher in the rear than in the front, and it's easy to drive on the street. Everything else looks okay though. But go with what you want, don't let us decide for you.

yall think 30/70s would be more practical, since i still drive it everyday... honestly im not concerned w. ride comfort at all... all about the performance...

None right now that are very good, I'll get some, sometime this week. With those lakewoods up front, on take off, it changes your alignment and really raises up your front end and can put you in some dangerous situations (this is all from what a tech at summit racing told me). I think you'll appreciate the adjustables more than being stuck with a non adjustable drag shock and strut.
