Default drag suspension

I'm gettin lower c/a in feb. I was wondering if there was anything else I can get for drag racing purposes for the track...I'm happy w/ the way my car handles turns now so I dont want anything that will make taking turns worse...but wouldnt mind something that I can adjust for when I'm at the track...so what else can I get thats inexspensive???...and what r the best lower c/a's for the money???...

strange adj front struts, 4cyl fox body front springs, lower control arms. - on a budget thats about the best you can get and maintain a stock type ride off the track. On the track you can loosen the front struts. eBay control arms own jooo - they owned me and JD. good stuff for cheap.

Well you have to figure out what you want. A drag suspension or a road handeling suspension.

like I said I"m happy w/ the way my car handles ...dont really care for any more handling...I just want to hook up better at the track but still maintain a stock ride when off the track...I'm not looking into making my car a full time drag car...I was j/w if there was something else out there besides lower c/a's
