judging by your sig, you want a drag car thats street driven. in that case, youd want to buy sfc, lcas, lcarbs, panhard, torque arm, big sway bar in the back, none in the front, some hal shocks, eibach drag launch kit, and prolly a 12 bolt or 9"

yea, removing the stock sway bar allows the front end to rise faster.... athough turning will suck, it wont be undrivable.

lower control arm relocation brackets can be purchesed thru spohn (see top of page, left, middle row) or BMR

LCAs and panhard are easy to make and there are over 15 diffrent companys that i know of that make them.
honestly, i think LCAs and the panhard bar is a waste of money. ive seen stock pieces touch 11s without issue.

Look across the top of this page. The first ones to check for things like that are Spohn and TDS.
