well if i install all of these parts what is the benifit that i will see?

i only do drag racing, no autocross. will these parts help any? i know there will be weight savings but if that is it would it be worth it?

Re: what benifits will i see?

you can spend your money elsewhere and get better gains. Unless you want more engine bay room for stuff I would spend it elsewhere. Also lowering springs will not help you for drag racing at all.

Re: what benifits will i see?

There will be a slight weight gain but not a whole lot to make a difference. Nothing in that list will improve your times but removing factory bushings and suspension components for something better will increase consistency.

Factory suspension parts bend and flex which can cause lots of inconsistency.
