Got my license back, got my engine done, and now im ready to hit the next step. Suspension...

The car is a daily driver and is probably just a little shy of 300 horses and ive stripped out a lot of the extra weight.

I have no suspension or chassi mods so far so im going to put some sub frame connectors underneath of it first. After that what would some suggestions be to get a better launch??

I was thinking rear controlarms...
What about the torque boxes?? ...

Let me know what you guys think.

If you are getting aftermarket control arms and plan to use sticky tires, torque box reinforcements are a great idea.

I recommend a control arm that has a spherical bushing on the differential end and poly on the chassis end. For the uppers, keep a stock style arm like the FMS or steeda arms.

I have the Bullitt shocks/struts, Pro3i weight jackers, steeda boxed uppers. I am pretty happy with it.

If I was doing it again, I would probably get H&R Super Sports and Bilsteins.
