I did suspension first with my 86 and it never really seemed worth it. I would do power first. Also with a drag suspension your only going to be in control going in a straight line.

you know... id say just get a decent set of uppers and lowers, some good springs and struts, maybe a strut bar or something and then just call it a day on the suspention if your gonna leave the motor stock for a while. that way it gives you a decent setup for the straight track, and if its ur DD then you wont be so worried when you come to a turn, that is vs. a full drag sus. setup.
