Questionarre : What mod should I do next?

LfiveohX · 10-07-2001, 08:15 PM

I really need to start working on the suspension / chassis next. I know for sure I want to put Weld-in subframes first, but after that, what next?
1) Upper and lower control arms
2) Eibach drag launch springs and lakewood 90/10's and 50/50's?

Is it worth installing control arms by themselves, or should I just wait and do all of this at one time?

What do you all think?
Thanks,
Adam

ok, if you can afford upper/lower control arms get them, i would, people tell me my car squats real bad everytime i hit 2nd and 3rd, plus traction is always a better mod, do you have a performance stall in the lentech? IMO, 4.10 grs with your setup would give you 2 tenths improvement.

It has a 10" 2800 stall converter. I chose the 3.73's only because I plan on adding a Vortech in the near future but want to get the suspension and chassis setup first.
