get subframes, lower arms (if not upper and lowers) and some good tires

yea subframes are awesome... get those no matter what.

i want it to be road racing because i live in the GA mountains and live in the curve roads but i also want the stop light pull outs like drag racing. so i guess both thats why i have them mixed. so is that a good combo i have about 400 HP that im trying to control thats why i trying to make sure i have a good suspension to handle it better then it does now.

Dbeck002

just remember that the list you made is a lot of extra weight. combining road race and drag = heavy. but if your making 400HP then 100 extra lbs wont matter much.

i dont care about the weight i just care about the handling like road roading and spot light off the line. i want it to handle in the curves and pull out at a stop light and not spin if i get on the gas.

So will this combo do what i want and if not want else do i need? Also should i get coilovers or lowering springs?

Dbeck002

lowering springs will help handling quite a bit but hurt your launches. thats what im trying to say, its hard to have the best of both worlds. you can be good at both but not really good at either drag or road race.

for starters get these.

strut tower brace
subframes
upper/lower control arms
stiffer springs
sticky tires

i want to be really good at road race and good at drag race if that makes since. and would coilovers be better because thats what the road racing packages have in them.

Dbeck002

for road race, yes coilovers would be better. but they will hurt launches because the frontend sprung weight will want to lift up when your front end does, this makes poor weight transfer. like i said before you have to choose which you really want to be good at. i say get the road race package, youll still be able to launch good with sticky tires and aftermarket control arms.

well im going to do this over time first is subframe connectors and strut tower brace and others later but i wanted to see whats a good package

Dbeck002

i think a strut tower brace and subframes are the cheapest most effective road race mod you can have, dont forget aftermarket sway bars. get those 3 items first and youll probably be happy as far as handling goes.
