Default Suspension set-up.

Ok so I am looking for a DD/Drag race set up.

This is what I have for suspension:

BMR LCA
BMR adj. Pan-hard bar
Tokico D-specs
Eibach Pro kit

None is on the car yet.
I'm not a suspension guy, so what else is necessary, and what else would be nice to have?

The car is only getting lowered 1.3'' front and 1.5'' rear.

I'm no expert but I'd say an adj. uca, uca mount, lca relocation brackets as well. I run all CHE stuff and like it. No wheel hop and car feels solid.

If you want the best drag race set up I would keep the stock springs.

Other than that I would add the BMR LCA relocate brackets.

relocation brackets a must

stock ride height is better for weight transfer off the line

Yep, those are exactly what you want/need and are the same ones I'm thinking of getting. Either the CHE or the weld-in Steeda's which I hear have the most attachment points/adjustability.

I'm also looking at mildly lowering springs such as the Steeda sports so my weight transfer doesn't suffer that much along with some good adjustable dampers (probably Koni).

Hello, yes those are what we call lca relocation brackets. By lowering the rear of the control arm you are moving the instant center of your car rearward which will give you better weight transfer. If you lower your car these are also needed to correct the lower control arm angle. If yopu have any questions give me a call.
