Smoother ride AND better handling??
Are there some parts that I can but to get a smoother ride, better handling, and possibly a lower stance?
Thanks Brian

seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find a combo of parts that will give you all of your ideal attributes. poly bushings will give you a harder, noiser ride, lowering springs harden ride, high perf shocks stiffen ride too.
Really, all you can do is increase handling ability and stiffness at the same time or increase ride quality and decrease suspension control, not both at the same time. This is the predicament of ride/handling engineers for decades and there is ALWAYS a tradeoff.
By the way, what does LMFAO mean?

The true drag racers have it good. I drove a week without the front sway bar and it made a world of difference with the ride. If also gave me some pretty good launches... But the car was wobbly and couldn't corner that well. Now I got HD springs (see my new post) and 36mm sway bar.
I'll be seeing the dentist more often I suppose (ponder that).

One thing that could help is subframe connectors
part of the ride "harshness" feeling is stiff springs
on a flexible flyer chassis.
Sooo..
Roughly you would do the stiffening thing Subs, wonderbar,
STB but go with a lighter anti sway bars, something stiff in
the way of springs... Don't lower the car more than an inch
and add a smaller jounce bumper to increase tavel.
