what do you mean by handle?

will it break...my guess is that your rear end and tranny would gernade before you physicly break anything in the rear suspension.

but if you are making quite a bit of power, you will definitly benifit by upgrading, that way you can put all that power to the ground.

I heard that you lose your power to the ground from a suspension that I guess cant handle the power your engine is putting out. I have a 82 z28, would the suspension on there be alright with like 250-290hp and 270-290tq?
