Default Ready for suspension




I've got about 1,300 $ to play with, what would be a good drag set up, that I could use but still keep the handling about as good as stock. It's going into a vert.

Well, it seems to me like you should go with some kind of adjustable suspension. You can do your usually suspension setup.

Full length subframes
upper control arms
lower conrtol arms
front springs
rear springs
shocks
struts
and some other small misc things.

those items are a given when doing a suspension, I think he means more along the lines of what kinds. Personally I would get some Moroso Front Drag Springs with Lakewood 90/10 Front Struts, and some Moroso Trick Rear Springs with Competition Engineering 50/50 Rear drag shocks. Any type of sub frame connecter would also be a given. And theres a few diffrent choices that work good as far as uppers/lowers go.

I thinkI got it figured out,
Tokico D-spect adjustable shocks, steeda hd adjustable upper rear control arms, steeda weight jacker rear lower control arms, some sort of full lenth frame supports, but I don't know what to do for springs, progressive rate perhaps?, any suggestions would be great, set up sound good?

Your going to want drag springs. Any kit will do. Strange adjustables will be great for the street and the strip for both shocks and struts.
