Cal-trac traction bars (a superior design), roller spring perches, 10-90 drag shocks, I-6 coil springs. Just a few items to get you thinking.

This is a roller front end ( roller upper/lower arms and spring perches) I built for a drag racing '68 big block coup. The owner said the car ran 3/10's quicker, it would hook a lot harder and pull the front tires another 6-8" at the starting line.

Getting the front end to move quicker will help a lot.

I'm not a drag racer but I like this idea for a leaf spring. This could be done at home with a stock set of leafs and a used set as a donor for the extra leafs. I count 6 on the front side and 3 out back. All 6 go under the housing. This should stop the wheel hop and keep the squat factor under control.

The roller UCA's are $550
The roller LCA's are $329
The roller perches are $199
10% off on the whole kit.
