I'm ready to spend a little money on the suspension. My goal is to get the 60' times down from my 1.9x current times. All I have is 70/30 struts up front/ 50/50 shocks in back, subframe connectors, and removed front sway bar. I have a set of wore out MT ET streets so I'll probably be getting a new set or possibly some slicks. I need opinions on brands/types of control arms. Without spending a lot of money, I was thinking about getting adjustable uppers and lowers, just so I could have the flexibility of adjustment if need be. For the money, what's some good adjustable arms? I'll also probably weld the torque boxes while I'm at it.
I'm trapping 92 in the 1/8 so I should be able to improve my 7.9x ET's easily if I could get my 60' times down from 1.9x to maybe 1.7x.
Anyway, I've spent some money on getting the horsepower, now I need to spend the money to get it to the ground. Let me know if you have any advice.
Thanks
