My stang is an all out drag car now, with occational street use but mostly just cruising to the track. I want to set up the suspension for the best for drag racing possible, but don't want it to be dangerous on the street, ya know! I've always wanted the KB extreme Matrix system, but is this really necessary for a drag car? I definetly need the subframes, and I could save a lot of money by not getting the matrix but I want to make sure this frame won't crap on me, but reading another forum they say the matrix brace and jacking rails are really for auto-x. What do you guys think?

BTW, I plan on getting Eibach drag springs and Lakewood shocks/struts.

Yeah I'm not really sold on the idea of the Extreme Matrix bracing. I would do the jacking rails in addition to the SFC's but the matrix part doesn't have me convinced.

From reading about the jacking rails it seems that it doesn't do as much for performance as it does helping you jack the car up....is that true?

Yeah that makes sense. It's more of a convenience than performance part.
