I'm planning on upgrading my shocks/struts from the stockers. I currently have MAC upper and lower rear control arms, SSM welded subframe connectors, and Eibach pro kit springs.

I realize that my suspension set up isn't the "ideal" set up for the strip, but I only get out 2-3 times a year, and it does ok - most of my action is on the street. I'm hoping to maximize what I have basically.

I've heard that since I got the upper/lower rear control arms I cn ditch the quads in the rear - will I regain the wheel hop? Should I just keep the old quads in a upgrade the rear shocks? Will going w/ Lakewood 70/30 or KYB adjustable front struts help or will te springs make them unable to shift the wieght anyway? Should I just go w/ normal non-adjustable front struts?

Thanks for your $.02!
