What suspension components to get??

[stang723]

Well next, im going to get a supercharger, and a custom chip, in like 6 months, but untill then im planning on doing some suspension work; what all should i consider? Are adjustable shocks/struts worth it?, or should i just get some lakewood drag struts and shocks?

P.S- It is a daily driver, and would like it to be reasonable for daily driving.

If it is your daily driver, and you are sold on drag struts/shocks, I would go with 70/30's and 50/50's. I would not use a 90/10. Some say they are too sloppy when turning at some speed, which I can understand. I really would save the money and buy adjustables. You can change the ride characteristics from rough to Cadillac-ish with a flip of a lever. Gotta love that. Also, if you want to improve all around suspension, the best thing you could do is buy an aftermarket set of UCA's and LCA's.

well i have those southside machine lift bars, which replace both the UCA, AND LCA, but who makes the best, with a good price, adjustable shocks and struts?

if your going to do UCA and LCA just skip it all and do it right the first time get a Torque arm rear supension...your will have better traction at the drag strip and on the road course also it is much smoother ride then stock....then add a new front suppension and you could be pullin 1.15G's on the skid pad

I have 90/10 lakewood struts and 50/50 lakewood shocks. I have no complaints at all. Very nice font end lift without the front swaybar. Its not to extreme for street driving at all, as my car is my daily driver in the spring/summer.

Adjustables are cool, but they werent for me. The last thing i wanna do is change them all the time. I do street race often ( i kno i kno) so i dont wanna be bothered adjusting them often.

Plus i love the front end lift, nothing like going 40-50 mph and punching it and feeling the front rise up.
