You'll have to decide if solids will suit your needs, which they might. But if you plan on making this more of a track car, you might think about spending a little more up front to give yourself room to grow down the road. There have been TONS of parts I've bought over the past 7 years that I wished I woulda just waited and got what I really wanted instead of doing it 2 or 3 times and end up spending that much more money.

sorry to be so long winded...

I am in the 1.6's with my 60ft with solid control arms with an other wise stock suspension.

I know people with drag shocks and drag springs and adjusable control arms that dont 60ft any better than me. Alot of suspension stuff is just overkill for a 12-14 second car.

I can understand it if you are going for 10's like you are though.
