control arms


what kind of suspension set up do I need to help me off the line (drag racing) at the track of course :award

what brand is the top of the line?

isn't there something you can take off of the front suspension an anti roll bar...that will reduce weight and help 1/4 mile times? how will that effect daily driving?

Yes, removing the front sway bar will help you on the dragstrip. As far as other suspension, check out BMR and Steeda.

BMR makes a drag racing pack that is very complete, i'm installing it on my car next week. Heres a link to it.

They also have a level 2 for really agressive cars.

I have BMR lowers with the relocation brackets. I haven't installed the upper yet but will do that when I get the new driveshaft next year. I also removed the front sway bar, not to remove weight but to promote better weight transfer to the rear wheels since it allows the front to move up a little more.. It leans a little more around tight turns now but it isn't bad. There is a radiator support that is available if you want to run without a sway bar. This is probably what you are thinking of for front end weight savings.

The sway bar delete you're referring to, I believe is from BMR. It's not cheap as it is a K member combo piece but will save you weight as well. Just don't use it for anything other than dragging according to them.
