RE: suspension set up
Thats a heck of a lot more than I'd wanna spend on suspension, but if you have the money it'll be really solid. I personally think Bilstein struts are overpriced, but again if you have the money...
For anyone with person experience, would what he's talking about really handle that much better than a good set of lowering springs and struts/shocks with subframe connectors and control arms? And how good of a driver would you have to be to notice a difference?

RE: suspension set up
Very Nice setup! Good Luck.
To me the money isnt the issue, I just want to make sure I have a damn good setup. My car wont see the drag strip at all. Maybe once in a while run it in the streets (of course if it's clear) My only decision now is what wheels I should stick with or should I just stick with regular ponies?
Suggestions? Comments?

RE: suspension set up
i haven't loked at the shocks your looking at but stiff is good for handling and road racing, soft rear stiff front is good for drag, my opinion is get adjustable shocks (best of both worlds) a little stiffer for the street and a little softer for the strip, i'm looking at some tociko adjustables myself but noone seams to have any input on them

RE: suspension set up
I think that set up is about the best you can buy. I have all that and lower k brace, strut tower brace, panhard bar, all urathane bushings, solid steering shaft. Your car will handle so much better! And if money isnt an issue go with bigger brakes and a 5-lug conversion! Much better choice of wheels that way. Good luck.
