Default WHAT SUSPENSION MODS TO DO?

Hey guys i have a mach 1 with a vortech in it and i was wondering what kind of suspension mods i can do to help it launch better. As of now the only thing i have is the eibach pro-kit, i did put kenny brown subframes of course and i was also thinking of doing upper/lower control arms as well...is there anything else i might wanna look into?!

Thanks

You could get aRear Shock Tower Brace, bushings, shifter springs, and controls arms.

the setup i would do would be, hpm upper and lower control arms, strange 10 way adj shocks and struts, full length weld in sub frame connectors, rear shock tower mount, front shock tower mount, and you should be pretty set.

If you are having to do things one at a time (Like me), I would do the upper and lower control arms first. Then everything else 5speedstang said.

The stock springs will give you a much better launch for drag racing than the eibach will, but of course it wont look as good.

How hard is suspension work to do by yourself? Would it be advisable to have the work done by someone else?
