Default Suspension ideas

Hi guys. I wantd to get some ideas on suspension parts to help traction on the street. I run a 28x10.5 slick. I hook fine at the track. I would like to be able too dead hook a pair of nitto drag radials on the street. Currently ive installed subframe connectors and i have a set of drag airbags on the way. Any other ideas that arent amazingly expensive?
Thanks in advance

either one of the sets of lowers listed there would work well for you.

It's highly unlikely that you're going to get Nitto DRs to dead hook on the street, especially if they're 555Rs and it's a stick car.

If you give me a lot more specific info about your car, I'll tell you exactly what you need to do to make it hook on the street.

E-mail the seller... Since this isn't a B/S/T forum, I'm not selling anything.
