Default need new suspension...any ideas?

I need a suspension setup that will let me launch well, take corners like nothing and won't spin tires when the road is damp...any suggestions? btw, I'm just looking for a mean street machine not a dedicated racer or anything so I don't need an expensive adjustable setup.

Default .

it sounds like to me you want two diff set ups... usually if you can launch really good then cornering will suck. and if it handles like a ****... then your launches will suffer... sounds like you should go w. something more for handling... as w.e. you get, it should launch better than stock... so long as you dont drop it to the ground...

as far as brands, check out www.50resto.com most of the stuff they have is dependable/good products...

I'm not looking for 2 differant setups, like I said it's a street machine so my main concern is handling and cornering but any improvement on lauch over stock is a plus

thats what i meant... you cant accel alot in each, its one or the other... i agree that if its a street car, and cornering is your bigger concern then go for that, like said before... anything should launch better than stock, so go ahead and focus on handling... unfortuanitly i dont know much about handling suspension packages that are out there, as i am going with more of a drag set up... but im sure some one else is on the same page as you and will be wiling to help.
