Suspension upgrades, comments suggestions?
All right guys, as I'm waiting for my tax return, I trying to decide what I want to do for suspension upgrades. I've narrowed it down to this. Feed back would be great on any of these products mentioned. Personal experiences, pros, cons, etc etc. Just looking to see what you guys think.
Lakewood 70/30 struts, 50/50 shocks Eibach drag launch springs SSM or Lakewood lift bars subframes and re-enforced torque boxes As for tires I'm not sure if I want to get Drag radials for my 16" rims, or go all out and get some Weld wheels with slicks and skinnys to put on when I go to the track. What would you guys suggest for tires? The drag radials would be a lot cheaper, but will they hook like I want them to with the suspension I'm going with? Thanks in advance, Craig

Don't install lift bars without first boxing and welding the seams of your torque boxes. You'll rip em apart if you don't.

do you have control arms? the stock ones suxor, i have the lakewood lowers and they really firmed up the launch, didnt really notice a gain in 60' though, but i like the tightness they have.
oh yea, welding my boxes are on my agenda too, i found a small tear in mine.
