Thumbs up New suspension

Well i drove out to Umi Performance today and I must say that the owner is a pretty cool guy, and I was impressed with their whole setup there. here is a list of the products i bought. Chrome moly shock tower brace, triangular sub frame connectors, tunnel brace mounted torque arm with drive shaft safety loop, non- adjustable panhard bar, non-adjustable lower control arms, and lastly lower control arm relacation brackets. This is my second mod done to my car so far. My first was SLP Loudmouth Catback Exhaust, and the car came with a volant cold air kit. Once i install all my suspension parts, anyone want to take a guess at what i should run at the track????

Unless you're currently experiencing wheel hop, you're not going to reduce your times at the track. To reduce your times a set of sticky tires is the most bang for the buck. Most of the mods you bought will improve corner carving.

Ummmm the relocation brackets are going to take away from his cornering significantly. I see you cutting some 1.8 60 foots on good tires and running a 8.7-8.8 1/8th mile.

If your going to be running a street radial just make sure to not launch at a high rpm...with the correct launch technique you should be able to get low 1.9's 60' i would think

update

I installed all my suspension parts today except for the torque arm. I decided to weld the frame connecters this week, so i am holding off on the torque arm until then. so that means i will not be driving the car for a few days. but i would like to say that it is amazing how much of a different ride my car is now.i like it!!!!
