Help with suspension
 
Well I am in the process of putting together either 408 or 418 stroker. Before I put the engine in I need to be able to get that power to the ground I was wondering if I could get some help with a complete drag suspension set up. It is a 87 notchback and is my daily driver with very little cornering and freeway driving. I am wanting to upgrade everything from a arms to even putting on strut braces front and back.

i am not sure on arms a strut braces but hoiw much you wanting to spend? eibach drag launch is like $200 get some lakewood or qa1 drags. tubular K-member. the options are endless. summitracing.com and jegs.com you can spend anywhere from $200 to $2000 or more...

I am just trying to get an idea. I definatly want to have both front and rear done. I would say I would feel comfortable spending 2-3k

i dont know if my setup is enough for a 408 stroker build, thats monsterous torque. but i do have a friend that runs approx the same set up as me and hes in the high 9's on a boosted 302

eibach drag launch w/ air bag
strange engineering adj shocks and struts
UPR double adj. u/l control arms
full length sub frames
tube k member
roll cage
CC plates
welded up TQ boxes



all that ran him right up to 3k ish



i have 1200 into mine and its a great set up, i have all of the listed above cept, roll cage, tube k member and TQ box kit, just welded the seams is all. my control arms are solid too but from UPR.



hope this helps.
