Suspention for the street/strip?
Okay since most of u know alot on suspention. what will be good for the street/strip. i think i should change the stock lca's well becuz the driverside one is bent and they might have the stock bushings in them. what else should i look into getting? becuz right now at the track i have 2.3-2.4 60' times and thats on crappy street tires, i have a set of dot slicks and well i havent tried them yet but want to. wanna do the suspention first in the rear since thats the last place i havent touched since ive gotten the car. all ive done back there was new springs and kyb shocks.
also im lookin at BMR products.

so basiclly get everything. becuz i was lookin at the BMR lca's (my brother got them and a friend and there nice pieces), panhard bar, and torque arm. are lca relocation brackets a noticeable difference? and i was lookin at the BMR relocation brackets and i was thinkin of gettin the bolt in ones and then weld them in becuz the bolts have like a large spacer withthem and the weld in ones dont.
and i also have Alston sfc in the garage just gotta put them in and im lookin into a edelbrock stb.

I can't really go into specifics yet. We are finalizing the product and changing a couple things. My car is running a prototype right now and just switching from the competition engineering bolt on ladder bars (which bent the shock mounts under acceleration) to the "new" setup knocked 2/10ths off my ET. Handling and ride comfort are perfect. Also our system will be COMPLETELY adjustable. Not just for pinion angle but also for Instant Center, and also completly bolt on clearing factory location exhaust. I have 4 inch exhaust and it clears nicely. Lots of research and development is in progress with hopes to get the set up on a car running in the single digits before seasons end......Stay Tuned
BTW we are designing this to go from the drag strip to the road coarse and are currently designing a LCA kit to accompany the bolt on Tri link system
We sought out a new design after I searched for a setup I liked and was faced with the VERY limited selection out there for our cars. Spohn and BMR make World Class products and those kits are on some of the fastest F bodies in the world. We are just trying to develop an alternative to the torque arm configuration.
