Default what suspension stuff do i need to get this power to the ground?

i should have about 330 at the wheels without the 100 shot and 430 with it. So what suspension components will i need in order to get this power to the ground i jsut got new rear shocks all (4) they are monroe cheap ones but idk if they will help and i really dont feel like re spending money on rear shocks. What other stuff will i need to get the power to the ground and what are the best front struts. Thanks for the help

tokico shocks and strutsaregood as far as i know, but i'd say some lakewooddrag shocks or somethingwould go a long way, then some upper/lower control arms maybe, and some springs. but really a good set of drag radials should be able to put that amount of power down(i think i don't really know though). let some guys that really know what their talking about give some advice and go from there. also what year is you car and what type transmisson do have? just for sh*ts and giggles.

Well get urself a set of upper and lower control arms and a good set of tires. Thats prob going to make the biggest difference. If you want to go further get a panhard bar.

If you really want to get the power to ground, solid lowercontrol arms, double adjustable uppers with spherical bearing. Put full length subframes in with 2x3" steel through floor. Reenforce the torque boxes. For the struts go with 90/10's up front. A rear adjustable anti roll bar. Your going to have to take the front sway bar off. That kind of setup should make you hook pretty good with the right springs, any drag launch kit should do. I would get adjustable shocks for the rear and ditch the quad shocks.
