Need Some Help On Suspension

I having been reading and searching for days now and i have came to somewhat of an idea on how i want my mostly drag suspesion to be:

-Moser 12 bolt with 4.10 and posi
-Spohn or UMI LCAs (do i want boxed or tubular)
-Spohn LCAs Relocation Brakets
-Spohn or UMI Panhard Bar (any suggestions here?)
-Spohn Adjustable Torque arm for th 400 kit with crossmember
-Spohn Drag Rear Sway Bar
-UMI SFC
-UMI or Spohn Wonder Bar
-All poly bushings all the way around

Now for the front suspension
-I want tubular A Arms but should i go with the boxed type for springs or the type to use with coil overs. (What are the pro and cons?)


I beleive thats just about everything i need, maybe i forgot something but if i did please correct me. These parts are all going on a 91 camaro that had a 305 in it

just for the record, if this is mostly a drag car, you dont need a wonderbar.. its just dead weight if you're not gonna take HARD turns.. granted it weighs all of a few pounds but it just seems like a complete waste of money for a drag car..

as for the coilover vs. stock spring debate, if you are critical about weight, go coilovers.. if not, stock type will be fine.. thats how i see it.. no need to spend more money then you have to
