    Many of the people I know that are much faster than me seem to like the 01 bullet springs and a shock setup. With the spherical mounts on the control arms I am pleasantly surprised with how well the car hooks on the street the pinion angle set at -2.

    Also I can't hear any additional noise with the solid bushings just driving around. Other than an occasional pop on uneven surfaces.

    The steeda weight jackers are delrum on the chassis side and spherical on the axle side. Being able to adjust the ride height is nice.

    X2. I've heard that the conversion kits for the rear come apart on their own over time.

    I'd do an eibach drag launch front springs, pa racing kmember with spring purchases, reuse your stock a arms, qa1 front struts, stock rear springs(or could use the drag launch rears), hpm mega bite jr lower control arms, steeda hardcore double adjustable upper control arms. Stock rear shocks should be fine. I'd do qa1's or tokico drag struts over strange. Know a lot of people that had issues with them and some that didnt, but more that did. Hpm mega bite jrs are one of the best drag racing lca only one i'd say is better is wolfe

    I did a bunch of research on the struts and tokico drag seems to come in the best. Of course they cost the most also.

    almost all complained about the noises they made. couple had them go prematurely on cars that were not lowered. they swapped out to qa1's never had any problems and no clunking noises
