Now that the engine is running smooth, I'm going to turn my attention to the suspension. Looking for a good drag oriented suspension build that's not too aggressive for the street. I do still need to be able to drive this thing around town and on the highway, some some corners will be necessary lol.

Currently have:

- Team Z Tubular K-Member w/o front sway bar
- Unknown front coil overs which I'm open to replacing.
- Rear is missing quad-shocks
- Excel-G rear shocks w/ unknown springs

What would you recommend?

How much power?
ET goals?
I’d stay with Team Z for suspension parts and Strange or Viking on dampers.
Rear will need UCA/LCAs and either an ARB or rear sway bar
I personally like double adjustable especially on the rear but front single is fine.
Can do a stock location rear coil over also.
Lots of options. Good luck

Sorry been super swamped at work.

I'm currently on a 3.9 pulley with the Procharger so I'm guessing no more than 420whp right now. However, I would like the setup to still work up to say 650whp - 750whp... so that down the road I have room to grow.

I would like to be a solid 11 second car right now, and long term a solid 10 sec car. The car will never be a daily, but it's also not a dedicated race car... so the ability to handle normal street driving well is still important.
