hah my bad... the rear will consist of
granatelli adj lower control arms
either stockers(new) or trick springs
some kind of upper control arms, either bbk or something(just somethin cheap, but effective)
and a 3 way adj. shock(forget the brand)

pro- i dont really see a need to spend that much on rears, i was honestly gonna just go w. a 50/50 in the back, but the 3 way adj are actually cheaper. and im trying to get this done before im outa my suspension class, just so i can use the lifts and shyt there(which i didnt do today, lol. back yard ftw)
unless some one can really convince me to get strange's in the back, im just gonna get 50/50s, or the 3 way adjustables.

the others are 40 a piece, im suposed to get a bonus check($250) if i get it in time, then i might get them..
reason for wanting just 50/50s in the back, my teacher who has done alot of drag racing in his day, suggested getting just that, and told me that adjustment wasnt nessacery, then agian hes kinda old school...

I'm running the FRPP C springs in the front and the rear, they handle great and give the car a really nice stance, but they're made more for handling and they aren't that great for drag racing. I'm going to take them off and sell them after I get the drag springs in. I just need to find a set of 4 cyl. frontsprings now.

Maybe i'll just pick some up from my work. Are your launches any better? Does they help lift the front end at all?

i accidentally bogged on $52.00 street tires tonight trying to launch, and its in the low 40s here....
i cant wait to see what itll do on the Drs... but they deffinatly help the launch a ton, i can feel it pick up and hold it self up all the way thru 1st, dip down while shifting from 1 to 2 and pick up again when i get on it in 2nd, it does this in all the gears....

RE: 4cyl springs and strange 10 ways installed!
it used to light up the street tires from any kinda launch, and any kinda WOT in 1st... it hooks now... dont get me wrong,,, i cant do a 4k dump on street tires but when i take off i can really feel a better grip in the back, because of the weight transfer, and once ur moving in 1st, they dont break free.
all this is only from a half hour drive from my house to a friends tonight... so give me a few more days and ill REALLY know how they act...again, cant wait to try them on the DRs tomorrow night
