Well, i have almost all of the money for my suspension saved up and i'll be ordering in probably 2-3 weeks. So, from the list below, am i missing anything? It's a drag setup, the car is mostly street but some strip. Dont mind a little bit of a deteriorated ride as long as its effective on the track.

Lakewood 90/10s
Lakewood 50/50s
Eibach Drag Launch Springs
Mac (or other) Upper and Lower Control Arms
Subframes

Anything missing? What kindof installation fee am i looking at for all of this?
Thanks for the help,
-GM

sounds good to me that is about the same setup i am going with and my car is used on the street alot more then strip like yours and here is the setup i am going with

70/30 fromts
50/50 backs
llm drag spring kit
subframes
rear strut tower brace
upper and lower control arms i have heard mac are weaker arms so i would stay away from them
6 or 8 point roll cage
for racing i would get a set of skinnys and slicks and sounds like you will be set

Hey guys,
I have a noob question, sorry it so dumb. What do the numbers like 70/30 and 50/50 mean, I am not use to mustangs yet, I come form AWD cars. Also what are quad shocks?
Thanks Alot
Ben

Don't know exactly about the 50/50 thing, I think they are damping rates. Quad shocks are two diagonally mounted extra shocks (aka axle dampers) that bolt to the axle and attach to the frame. Their purpose is to help prevent wheel hop. If you have a 91 LX 5.0 you have them.
