No offense dude - but you are all jacked up for a drag car which appears is what you want.

First off, forget the relocation brackets. They are decent for the street and lowering springs but not optimal for the track. The stock location is the best for big launches. Forget about fitment - once you have the BMR extreme anti roll bar (which you need) - you will not need the relocation brackets nor have any fitment issues at all.

Number 2 - you have no business on a 26" tire -that is killing you - especially with 4.10's.

You absolutely do not need double adjustable shocks in the rear. Hell, you would spend a lifetime at the track playing with them and it is not needed IMO for your car. The single adjustable QA1's are what I have on my car and they work great and you know I net 1.3x 60's.

It is a little pricey and you don't have to buy all at once but here is what I think you need in addition to what you already have on your car to see maximum results...

Front suspension - QA1 coil overs, BMR radiator support, tubular K-member, & tubular non adjustable A-arms.

Rear suspension - BMR extreme anti roll bar (ditch the relocation brackets after), QA1 single adjustable shocks or Rancho, preferably the eibach drag launch springs (if you can get them - they are backordered from eibach for an unknown amount of time) or the GT500 springs. Forget 'lowering springs')

Lastly, ditch those tires for the 28x11.5-15 ET Drags and set them for about 12 psi to start and use rim screws but no tubes.

Your launch will be night and day...

Sounds good. I already ordered the shocks and the aniti roll bar kit is coming next. I figured I would need a bigger tire but I was going to wait until the slicks I have now are completely done. As for the front the radiator support bracket will also come soon but the k-memeber and a-arms might have to wait until this summer. Thanks for your help mod.

The K-member and A-arms are the least priority on the list. You'll notice a big difference with what you're doing.

Get rid of the 26" tires though...
