suspension mods....
 
what suspension mods would you suggest. I've heard that subframe connectors are good to help wth flex correct??? what else should I look at?? I recently got KYB shocks and struts so those are good, i can't really lower the car cus of my wheels. I got 03 cobras on there and they kind of rub as it is so I would only be able to lower when I get new tires and get some 40 series or such.

it depends on what you want to do to the car

What kind of suspension would you set up for a street car that heads up to the drag strip once in a while?

Are your KYBs adjustable?

Get some sub frame connectors, they help a lot with flex and seem to help plant the power better also. That and a tubular K member. Helps with weight and may be stronger not sure. Perhaps before a K member, get some Upper and lower control arms.

i would rock some FRPP C springs, nice set of boxed in U/L control arms, i would go with elderbrock IAS shocks[ they are probably the best ive experienced. so soft but so firm when you need them and actually helped my truck hook better] full lenght subframes for strength, K member isnt needed for the street. really all you need for the street. if you were more track theres tons more to do

what would i need if i have a suspension that is too stiff for the windy ,bumpy country roads i live on and all i do ride it on the street and backroads- i really need something softer b/c sometimes i feel like im going to bounce right off the road if i hit the smallest bump

that sounds like chassis flex, all of the above will help SMOOTHEN the ride.
