  • Now that i have a good NA time i need suspension

    I think to get toward the 1st place position i need help with suspension. Right now all i have is BMR Tubular Control Arms Poly/Poly bushings and BMR Tubular Non adjustable panhard pard Poly/Poly bushings. With that setup and no front sway bar i rin 14.345 @92.55 with a 1.866 60 foot anything that yall recommend me getting that will help me get better ET's

      He wants to know what he can do for his suspension to lower ET's.

      I've heard Subframes help a little bit on launches, then again they add weight so it could even out in the end. But man do they look cool and help you turn like a sonafa*****. :D

      I guess the only other thing you could do is a torque arm but they are pricey.

          Kris you dont need a torque arm. You already did the bushing right?

          You could get upper A arms and a K member, but both of those are around $400 a pop. Just help for weight reduction.

          Also, get some different shocks. Bilstein HDs or Hals in the rear would really help you tear it up.

            BMR Xtreme rear swaybar, or at least a 1Le bar w/ poly bushings/endlinks. when I did this, I noticed better traction off the line, and no rear twist like before. it'll squat evenly, placing force on both rear tires. after that, torque arm and sfc's.

              I run:
              no front sway bar
              Mild steel light weight lower a arms
              Mild steel drag light weight k member
              skinnies
              no strut tower brace
              poly torque arm mount
              poly tranny mount
              hotchkis boxed trailing arms
              hotchkis pan hard rod
              rk sport tubular sub frames
              stock shocks
              sotck springs

              I have not messed with torque arms but I'm told that this is something I really need to do this winter so I'll update when I get there.
              I also plan on getting the upper mild steel light weight a arms
              Maybe at some point I'll upgrade the rear sway bar
              My mid 11 second ls1 people swear by Hal shocks!!!
              One consistently pulls the tires off the ground 6-12 inches!!!
