I just recently finished my car project this year its a 331 with some bolt ons i put a rebuilt T5 behind it with a 31 spline full rear end with 4.10's. but my problem is i have stock suspension but lowering springs and those are cut. What i need is to be able to hook up decent i havn't launched the car yet cause im not done with break in and what not. I plan on buying Upper and Lower control arms when i get enough money. Which one would i benifit most buying first when im running a 275 street radial tire? or could i maybe buy sand bags to put in the trunk in the mean time i know adding weight slows the car down but would .2 of a second by added 200 pounds of sand in my trunk benifit??? i dunno what do u guys try?

Lower control arms will help out a lot. Buy those first they are more important then uppers. Also do you want better traction for the street or the strip? Drag radials help a lot on both. Full length sub frame connectors will stiffen up the car as well.

i would say lower arms for sure if you dont want to buy them just throw some poly bushings in your stock arms and box them in your self and some drag radials and some sub frame connectors and call it a day
